In 2002, Serbia and Montenegro sent an application to take part in the 2003 contest, however, they were unable to take part after the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) decided that too many countries would be relegated if the country took part. Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) held a contest – "Beovizija 2003" – to be used as a "rehearsal" for the next year's Eurovision selection, held between 12–14 April. The winner was Toše Proeski with "Čija si". Proeski would go on to represent his home country Macedonia the following year.
