The 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. The winning song was "Pozdrav svijetu", written and composed by Milan Lentić, and performed by the Croatian group 4M, comprising members Ivica Krajač, Branko Marušić, Saša Sablić and Željko Ružić. Lola Jovanović represented Yugoslavia in 1962 and Vice Vukov represented the country twice, in 1963 and 1965.

At Eurovision
The contest was broadcast on Televizija Beograd, Televizija Zagreb, and Televizija Ljubljana.[1][2][3]
Because groups weren't allowed at the contest, lead singer Ivica Krajač was credited as Ivan, and the three other members of the group accompanied him as backing singers under the collective title 3M.
They 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.[4]
