Before Eurovision
Jugovizija 1984
The Yugoslavian national final to select their entry, Jugovizija 1984, was held on 23 March at the Universal Hall in Skopje, and was hosted by Blagoja Krstevski and Ljiljana Trajkovska.
Each of the eight Jugoslavenska radiotelevizija (JRT) participating sub-national broadcasters (RTV Sarajevo, RTV Skopje, RTV Novi Sad, RTV Titograd, RTV Zagreb, RTV Belgrade, RTV Ljubljana, and RTV Pristina) entered two songs to Jugovizija, making a national final of sixteen songs. The winner was decided by the votes of the regional juries of the eight broadcasters, which could not vote for their own entries.
The winner was "Ljubavna priča br. 1" representing RTV Titograd, written by Slobodan Bučevac and Milan Perić, and performed by Ida and Vlado.
Controversy

Disputes arose between various television centers, with some accusing others of violating voting norms, while others defended the regularity of the process. Despite the allegations, officials from these centers denied any intentional manipulation and affirmed that the voting followed the established procedures.
