Serbia participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 in Düsseldorf, Germany and selected their entry through a televised national final, organised by Serbian broadcaster Radio-televizija Srbije (RTS). The winner was Nina with the song "Čaroban".
The Serbian Eurovision PR Manager, Duška Vučinić-Lučić said that RTS would use the same selection process as in 2010. A televote would decide which of the artists would be the Serbian representative.
On 19 January, RTS announced that Kornelije Kovač and his two daughters Aleksandra Kovač and Kristina Kovač would each compose a song and present a singer, thus competing against each other. The Serbian national final was held on 26 February, and was aired live on RTS1, RTS Digital, www.rts.rs and on Eurovision's official site. The name of national final is Pesma za Evropu - Diseldorf 2011. (Song for Europe - Düsseldorf 2011)
Serbia competed in sixth position of the first semi-final of the contest, on 10 May, and qualified for the final. Serbia placed 14th in the Eurovision final, with 85 points.
