The show will be opened by Hor RTS and Una Saga Serbica with the rendition to the 2007 Serbian Eurovision entry Molitva.

During the interval many former Serbian Eurovision acts will be gracing the Beovizija 2018 stage: Jelena Tomasevic (2008) Marko Kon ( 2009), Moje 3 (2013), Milan Stankovic (2010), Sanja Vucic (2016), Bojana Stamenov (2015) and Tijana Bogicevic (2017).

The 2018 Serbian Eurovision entry will be determined via a 50/50 five member jury-public televoting deliberation.
