The Pesma za Evroviziju ’26 final was broadcast from Studio 8 of RTS in Košutnjak (Belgrade). The hosts of the show were RTS journalists and presenters Dragana Kosjerina and Kristina Radenković, while RTS journalist and presenter Stefan Popović was responsible for speaking with the artists from the green room.

With a renewed graphic identity and a new 700-square-meter stage filled with LEDs and more than 300 state-of-the-art lighting fixtures, the lighting effects and video animations made each and every performance truly shine. Thanks to this, and to the maximum scores awarded by both the jury and the televote, Lavina claimed victory in the 5th edition of Pesma za Evroviziju, securing the coveted golden ticket to Vienna (Austria).

From Belgrade, the decision to select the artist who will represent Serbia in Vienna (Austria) next May rested in the hands of the jury and the televote, each holding 50% responsibility. The jury, composed of five members — Aleksandra Kovač (singer-songwriter, composer and music producer, and president of the jury), Igor Panic (musician), Nina Radojicic (vocal soloist), Alek Aleksov (composer and arranger), and Zoe Kida (Serbian singer-songwriter) — awarded their maximum score to Lavina and their song “Kraj mene.” The televote also favored the rock band.
