The participation of Serbia in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest first began in Bucharest, Romania at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2006, having previously participated in 2005 as part of Serbia and Montenegro. Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) a member organisation of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) are responsible for the selection process of their entrants. Serbia used the national selection format broadcasting a show entitled "Izbor za dečju pesmu Evrovizije" (Serbian Cyrillic: Избор за дечију песму Евровизије) for their participation at the contests between 2006 and 2010.
In 2007 they were represented by Nevena Božović, who went onto to represent Serbia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 as part of her band, Moje 3. Serbia's best result came in 2007 and 2010 when they finished in third place at both contests. There have only been three absences from the Junior Contest in 2011, 2012, and 2013. Serbia returned to the competition in 2014 represented by Emilija Đonin, who was selected internally by the national broadcaster RTS, a selection mechanism that they continued to use in 2015 when their most recent participation at a Junior Contest was with the song "Lenina pesma" (Serbian Cyrillic: Ленина песма), performed by Lena Stamenković. As of Junior Eurovision 2016, Serbia have awarded the most points to Russia, and received the most points from Macedonia.
