Jugovizija (Cyrillic: Југовизија, English: Yugovision) was the Yugoslav national final to select their entry for the Eurovision Song Contest, organized by the Yugoslav broadcaster Yugoslav Radio Television (JRT) and its subnational public broadcasting centers based in the capitals of each of the constituent republics of the Yugoslav federation: SR Bosnia and Herzegovina (RTV Sarajevo), SR Croatia (RTV Zagreb and RTV Split), SR Macedonia (RTV Skopje), SR Montenegro (RTV Titograd), SR Serbia (RTV Belgrade) and SR Slovenia (RTV Ljubljana) and also the broadcasting services of the autonomous provinces within SR Serbia: SAP Kosovo (RTV Prishtina) and SAP Vojvodina (RTV Novi Sad). The first subnational public broadcasters to compete in 1961 were RTV Belgrade, RTV Ljubljana and RTV Zagreb, while the others joined in the following years.[1]

Jugovizija was the original title for the festival. But when the festival was staged in Opatija for several years in the 1970s, it began being known as Festival Opatija. In 1981, it began to be known in Serbo-Croatian as Jugoslovenski izbor za Pesmu Evrovizije (Serbian) or Jugoslavenski izbor za Pjesmu Eurovizije (Croatian).
