National Final
The Yugoslavian national final to select their entry, was held on 23 January at the TV Zagreb Studios in Zagreb.
There were 18 songs in the finals; TV Zagreb had its own semi-final in December 1961 to choose the 6 songs that it sent to the final. The winning song was chosen by the votes of 3 regional juries. Only a few of the participating songs are known.

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or final:
“The progress
Is permanent like the preordained bulk
Of the First National Bank
Like fish sauce, but agreeable.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
