Background
Main article: Serbia in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest

Prior to the 2022 contest, Serbia had participated in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest thirteen times since its debut in 2006,[2] and once as Serbia and Montenegro in 2005,[3] prior to the Montenegrin independence referendum in 2006 which culminated into the dissolution of Serbia and Montenegro,[4] As of 2021, Serbia's best results are two third places, achieved in 2007 and 2010. In the 2021 contest, Serbia placed 13th with Jovana and Dunja and the song "Oči deteta (Children's Eyes)".[5]

Before Junior Eurovision

On 10 October 2022, RTS announced that Katarina Savić would represent Serbia in the contest with the song "World Without Borders".[6] The song "Svet bez granica" ("Свет без граница") was later released on 6 November 2022 with the title in Serbian rather than English.[7]

At Junior Eurovision

After the opening ceremony, which took place on 5 December 2022, it was announced that Serbia would perform fourteenth on 11 December 2022, following Portugal and preceding Armenia.[8]

On the day of the final, it was announced that Katarina would not be performing live due to medical issues and that footage from her second rehearsal will be used instead.

Voting

The same voting system that was introduced in the 2017 edition will be used, where the results will be determined by 50% online voting and 50% jury voting. Every country has a national jury that consists of three music industry professionals and two children aged between 10 and 15 who are citizens of the country they represent. The rankings of those jurors are combined to make an overall top ten.[9]

The online voting consists of two phases. The first phase of the online voting will begin on 9 December 2022 when a recap of all the rehearsal performances is shown on the contest's website Junioreurovision.tv before the viewers can vote. After this, voters will also have the option to watch longer one-minute clips from each participant's rehearsal. This first round of voting will end on Sunday 11 December at 15:59 CET. The second phase of the online voting will take place during the live show and begin right after the last performance and will be open for 15 minutes. International viewers will be able vote for three songs.[10] They will also be able to vote for their own country's song. These votes will then be turned into points which will be determined by the percentage of votes received. For example, if a song receives 10% of the votes, it will receive 10% of the available points.
