Yugoslavia was present at the Eurovision Song Contest 1989 , held in Lausanne , Switzerland , and won the competition for the first and only time.
The Yugoslav national final to select their entry, Jugovizija 1989 , was held on 4 March 1989 at the Grand Hall of the Serbian National Theatre in Novi Sad [ 1] , and was hosted by Dina Čolić and Boško Negovanović.[ 2]
The winning song was chosen, from a selection of 16 songs, by the votes of 8 regional juries. Each TV studio had to choose 1 song to be entered directly into the competition, and most submitted a few more songs from which the remaining 8 songs were chosen.[ 3]

Riva was the twenty-second and last performer on the night of the Contest, following Germany . Their song "Rock Me" won the contest with a score of 137 points.[ 4] However, according to author and historian John Kennedy O'Connor in The Eurovision Song Contest – The Official History it was a very unexpected win and BBC TV commentator Terry Wogan described it as "the death knell" for the contest.[ 5]
^ Due to technical issues during the performance, Trio Rona was allowed to perform again after all the performances.
