On the night of the contest the song was performed 5th, following Luxembourg's Michèle Torr with "Ce soir je t'attendais" and preceding Norway's Åse Kleveland with "Intet er nytt under solen". At the close of the voting it had received 9 points, placing 7th in a field of 18.

It was succeeded as Yugoslav representative at the 1967 contest by Lado Leskovar with "Vse rože sveta".

Some controversy has developed in recent times due to the similarity of the melody of this song in comparison to the Spanish entry of 1973 "Eres tú". The first 10 notes of the initial melody of both songs are mostly in the same order, though the cadence is different. Other than that, the melody, construction, and rhythm of the two songs is completely different. While one could make the argument that Eres tú is derivative of Brez Besed it is certainly not plagiarized.
