The State Union of Serbia and Montenegro participated in the Eurovision Song Contest twice: in 2004 and in 2005. Their debut appearance was a success, with the song "Lane moje" performed by Željko Joksimović finishing second. The following year, they placed seventh, with "Zauvijek moja" by the band No Name. The Serbian-Montenegrin participant broadcaster in the contest was Udruženje javnih radija i televizija (UJRT) which selected its entrant with the national selection Evropesma.
UJRT originally planned to participate in the 2006 contest but due to a scandal in the national selection which caused tensions between the Serbian and Montenegrin broadcasters that formed the UJRT, it withdrew from the competition while retaining the right to vote. Following the 2006 Montenegrin independence referendum, Serbia and Montenegro have participated in the contest as separate entities, making their independent debuts in 2007.
