Oro (Serbian Cyrillic: Оро) is the Serbian entry in the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest being held in Belgrade, Serbia. The song is performed by Jelena Tomašević.

At the end of the song Jelena sings : "Na Vidovdan probudi me da ga opet pogledam" - "On St Vitus' Day wake me up, to look at him once again". Although some understood this in political manner, Kosovo battle in 1389 was fought on St Vitus' Day, it is acctually all about old Serbian custom. It was believed that unmerried girls should look in the water in an early hours on that day so they can see the image of their future husband. Oro is the Balkan folk dance.
