The Balkan nation competed until 2010, where it took a three-year break between 2011 and 2013. Since 2014, Serbia has continuously participated in the competition.
Serbia’s most recent participation in the competition in 2021, saw them being represented by Jovana and Dunja with the song “Children’s Eyes” which placed 13th overall in the competition, where Serbia received 86 points from the jury and online voting.
