During the disintegration of Yugoslavia the state broadcaster at the time , JRT , decided to continue Yugoslavia 's participation in the contest , holding one last national final for the 1992 Contest , held on 28 March 1992 . Only artists from the republics of Serbia , Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina competed , despite the former declaring independence on 1 March . Artists from Croatia , Slovenia and Macedonia did not compete after declaring independence from Yugoslavia in 1991 . The winning song was " Ljubim te pesmama " by Extra Nena , representing Serbia . However , by the time Extra Nena competed at Eurovision for Yugoslavia , the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was no more , and a new republic , the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia , had been formed . Croatia 's former sub-national broadcaster RTV Zagreb became the country 's national broadcaster , renamed Hrvatska radiotelevizija ( HRT ) . The broadcaster first attempted to enter the Eurovision Song Contest as an independent nation in 1992 , holding a national contest to select a song . However , as the broadcaster was not a member of the European Broadcasting Union ( EBU ) at the time they were refused entry to the contest . The winner of the contest was Magazin with the song " Hallelujah " . The broadcaster became a member of the European Broadcasting Union ( EBU ) on 1 January 1993 , allowing it to compete in the Eurovision Song Contest for the first time as an independent nation in 1993
