      The Yugoslav national final to select their entry, Jugovizija 1989, was held on 4 March 1989 at the Grand Hall of the Serbian National Theatre in Novi Sad, and was hosted by Dina Čolić and Boško Negovanović.
      The winning song was chosen, from a selection of 16 songs, by the votes of 8 regional juries. Each JRT affiliate had to choose one song to be entered directly into the competition, and most submitted a few more songs from which the remaining eight songs were chosen.

      At Eurovision


      Riva was the twenty-second and last performer on the night of the Contest, following Germany. Their song "Rock Me" won the contest with a score of 137 points. However, according to author and historian John Kennedy O'Connor in The Eurovision Song Contest – The Official History it was a very unexpected win and BBC TV commentator Terry Wogan described it as "the death knell" for the contest.
