Serbia in Eurovision

Serbia has been a part of Eurovision since 2007, except in 2014 when they chose not to participate.

Their best result came in their debut year, when Marija Šerifović won the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 with the song Molitva.

Out of 17 appearances, they have qualified for the Grand Final 13 times.
