The Yugoslavian national final to select their entry, was held on 25 February at the TV Studios in Skopje. For the first time in the history of the contest, there were more than one host; Vesna Nestorović, Kristina Remškar, Dubravka Cecez, Snežana Lipkovska, Rosanda Kovijanić & Helga Vlahović. There were 15 songs in the final, from six subnational public broadcasters of JRT. Radio Titograd made a come-back after their first and only particpation, in 1933. The winner was chosen by the votes of a mixed jury of experts and citizens, one expert from each of the subnational public broadcasters of JRT and three non-experts. ^{[lower-alpha 1]} The winning song was "Jedan dan" performed by the Croatian group Dubrovački trubaduri. The song was written by Stijepo Stražičić, and composed by Đelo Jusić and Stipica Kalogjera. Lola Jovanović represented Yugoslavia in ESC 1962 (when she was called Lola Novaković).
