The participation of Serbia in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest first began in Bucharest, Romania at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2006, having previously participated in 2005 as part of Serbia and Montenegro. Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) a member organisation of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) are responsible for the selection process of its entrants. Serbia used the national selection format broadcasting a show titled Izbor za Dečju pesmu Evrovizije (Serbian Cyrillic: Избор за Дечју песму Евровизије) for its participation at the contests between 2006 and 2010.

In 2007, the country was represented by Nevena Božović, who went on to represent Serbia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 as part of the girl group Moje 3. Serbia's best result came in 2007 and 2010 when it finished in third place at both contests. There have only been four absences from the contest, between 2011 and 2013, and once again in 2023. Serbia returned to the competition in 2014 represented by Emilija Đonin, who was selected internally by the national broadcaster RTS, a selection mechanism that it continued to use in 2015 when it internally selected the song "Lenina pesma" (Serbian: Ленина песма), performed by Lena Stamenković.

It is one of three countries, along with Belarus and Kazakhstan, to have participated in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest before debuting in the adult one.
