[edit] Format and winner
The same format set by Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) in Beovizija 2007 took place in 2008. The deadline for the submission of songs by artist to the national broadcaster was on December 15, 2007. One of the requirements for entry was that the songs must be performed in Serbian, however, the winning song can be sung in any language for Eurovision. On December 24, 2007, 20 semi-finalists were selected by a group of RTS judges comprising of Ana Milićević, Anja Rogljić, Zoran Dašić, Nikoleta Dojčinović, Jelena Vlahović, Bilja Krstić and Miki Stanojević.
The semi-finalists performed on March 9, 2008. Via public televoting and a 3 team judging panel the scores were combined and the 10 highest ranking songs preceded to the finals. These were songs Oro, Zavet, Kvar, Iznad nas, Dunav, Beli jablan, Da si tu, Sada ili nikada, Čudesni svetovi and Čućemo, čućete. The same voting procedure occurred on the finals night, March 10, 2008, where a winning song was chosen - Oro.[4][2][5]
For the first time there were 2 host couples hosting the show.

[edit] Stage
Beovizija is known to have one of the best stage designs in the national selection process for Eurovision. This year the stage symbolised the host city of the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest - Belgrade. The stage represented a large public city square and a large amount of special effects and lighting were used to make the stage more attractive to the public.[7]
[edit] Host couple
RTS as the host broadcaster of the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 aired a show called Evropsko lice (European face). Through a team of expert judges and televoters each week couples battled for a chance to be the hosts of Beovizija 2008. They also have a chance to become the green room hosts at the Eurovision Song Contest in Belgrade. Every week a couple was voted out based on public voting.
It was decided that there will be two host couples at Beovizija, both hosting over two nights. The winners of European face are Nina Radulović and Đorđe Maričić and Kristina Radenković and Branislav Katić.[8] Kristina Radenković and Branislav Katić was the couple voted through to co-host the semi-final and final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 in Belgrade with Jovana Janković and Željko Joksimović. They were voted via public tele-vote. During both the semi-final and final the couples sang songs dedicated to the Eurovision host city Belgrade.
