Jugovizija 1987
The Yugoslav national final to select their entry for the Eurovision Song Contest was held on 7 March 1987 at the Sava Centre in Belgrade, and was hosted by Dejan Đurović and Ivana Stanković.
In 1987, new procedures were introduced about the selection of the songs and voting: all TV studios nominated two songs as guaranteed participants (a total of 16) and 8 more were selected based on their quality. Some of the studios did not enter any extra songs chosen, while TV Zagreb entered four, making six in total. The total of 24 songs competing was the greatest number for the period 1981-1991. The new voting system allowed the juries of the individual TV studios to be able to vote for their own entries, and most of them took this opportunity, as they did in the following four years. Every jury member (3 from each TV studio – 24 in total) could vote only for five songs, and this marginalized many of the songs, with five songs failing to win any points.
The winning entry was "Ja sam za ples", performed by Novi fosili, composed by Rajko Dujmić and written by Stevo Cvikić.
