There were 8 songs in the final, from five subnational public broadcasters. The subnational public broadcaster RTV Skopje made a comeback. The winner was chosen by the votes of an eight-member jury of experts, one juror for each of the six republics and the two autonomous provinces. The winning entry was "Čežnja" performed by Croatian singer Vice Vukov, composed by Julijo Marić and written by Žarko Roje.
