On 19 January, RTS announced that Kornelije Kovač and his two daughters Aleksandra Kovač and Kristina Kovač would each compose a song and present a singer, thus competing against each other. The Serbian national final was held on 26 February, and was aired live on RTS1, RTS Digital, www.rts.rs[2] and on Eurovision's official site.[3] The name of national final is Pesma za Evropu - Diseldorf 2011.
