Шаблон:Infobox song contest Beovizija 2022 was supposed to be the eleventh edition of the Serbian music festival Beovizija held in February 2022. For the first time since 2003, the festival would not be used to select the Serbian representative at the Eurovision Song Contest.[1] This was supposed to be the first edition of the contest to not be hosted by the Radio Television of Serbia (RTS). It is assumed that Beovizija was to be broadcast via Prva Srpska Televizija[2] or Hype TV, which is in part owned by the Megaton Production producer Saša Mirković.[2]

RTS ends collaboration with Beovizija

Olivera Kovačević, editor of RTS' Entertainment Program has announced in October 2021 that the Serbian national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 under the provisional name of RTS takmičenje za Pesmu Evrovizije (RTS contest for the Eurovision Song Contest) would only be held if the epidemic measures of the government of Serbia allow them to do so. After this, Saša Mirković, a partial owner of Megaton Productions, announced the end of cooperation with RTS on Beovizija. In their official statement, they stated that they are the sole owners of the Beovizija format. The official statement of Megaton Production was as follows:

"When the festival was established in 2003, RTS did not have the right to send a representative to Eurovision, which is also a private festival, only at a European level. The first winner of Beovizija was Toše Proeski, and back then, RTS was just a broadcaster of the festival. When the EBU allowed RTS to send its representative to the Eurovision Song Contest, the production of "Megaton" handed over the license to RTS in exchange for a fee. Since then, RTS has had the task of selecting participants and members of the jury, and we have only done the executive production. It has been like that for many years and Beovizija has always been a beautiful festival. After the arrival of Olivera Kovačević as the editor of the RTS' Entertainment Program, problems began with fixing the participants and winners of Beovizija.”

They also added that RTS' licence expired in 2020.[2]
