Serbia in the Eurovision Song Contest
Serbia debuted as an independent country in 2007 (they previously participated as part of Yugoslavia & Serbia & Montenegro) represented by Marija Šerifović with “Molitva”, which managed to win the competition. Since then, Serbia has participated 14 times, qualifying for the Grand final on 11 occasions.
Most recently, Konstrakta represented Serbia at Eurovision 2022 with the song “In Corpore Sano”. Konstrakta qualified for the Grand Final, where they earned 87 points from the jury and 225 points from the televote to place 5th overall with 312 points.
