In the 2020 contest, Serbia placed 11th with Petar Aničić and the song "Heartbeat".[5]

At Junior Eurovision

After the opening ceremony, which took place on 13 December 2021, it was announced that Serbia will perform seventeenth on 19 December 2021, following Spain and preceding North Macedonia.[8]

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.

The online voting consists of two phases. The first phase of the online voting began on 17 December 2021 when a recap of all the rehearsal performances is shown on junioreurovision.tv before the viewers can vote. After this, voters also have the option to watch longer one-minute clips from each participant's rehearsal. This first round of voting will end on Sunday 19 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 a maximum of three songs.[9] 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 received 20% of the votes, it received 20% of the available points.
