editRadiotelevizija Bosne i Hercegovine (RTVBiH) held the national final on 8 March 1995 at its television studios in Sarajevo, hosted by Ismeta Krvavac. Davorin Popović sang all the songs and the winner was chosen by an "expert" jury. Initially there was a tie between "Dvadeset prvi vijek" and "Bez tebe" so the "expert" jury had to vote again between these two songs. Eventually, "Dvadeset prvi vijek" was declared the winner.[1]
