National final

Jugoslavenska ratiotelevizija held a national final to select its entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 1992. Following a meeting between all eight JRT subnational broadcasters on 17 October 1991, JRT confirmed its participation in the 1992 contest and that Makedonska Radio-Televizija was to organise and host a national final which was going to be a cooperation and competition between eight of the subnational broadcasters that made up JRT at the time: HRT, RTCG, RTV Beograd, RTV Novi Sad, RTV Priština, RTV Sarajevo, MRT, and RTV Slovenija. However, by 1 February 1992, RTV Slovenija and HRT had withdrawn from the contest and RTV Beograd had taken over hosting and organising duties from MRT.
The national final had several names in TV-guides from the time, such as: "Izbor JRT predstavnika za "Pesmu Evrovizije"" in Serbo-Croatian. The national final was referred to in the broadcast as "Jugoslovenski izbor za pesmu Evrovizije '92". However, the national final along with every other Yugoslav national final has been referred to post hoc as Jugovizija by several sources.
