Yugoslav national final to select their entry, was held on 15 February at the
RTV Zagreb Studios in
Zagreb. The host was
Oliver Mlakar. There were 17 songs in the final, from six subnational public broadcasters. The winner was chosen by the votes of a mixed jury of experts and citizens, one juror from each of the subnational public broadcasters of
JRT, and three non-experts - citizens.[a] The winning song was "Pozdrav svijetu" performed by the Croatian group 4M[b], written and composed by Milan Lentić.
Vice Vukov represented Yugoslavia in
1963 and
1965.
Lola Jovanović represented Yugoslavia in
1962.[c][1]
Because groups weren't allowed at the ESC, 4M renamed themselves to Ivan & 3M. 4M performed 1st on the night of the Contest, preceding Luxembourg. At the close of the voting the song had received 5 points, coming 13th in the field of 16 competing countries. [2]
