Controversy
Following the contest, some members of the public were dissatisfied with the result, namely "{{lang|sr-latn|i=unset|Gnezdo orlovo}}" by Breskvica not winning the contest despite finishing first in the televoting. An online petition was started to demand a re-cast of the vote, also demanding that the public vote only decide the winner.{{Cite web |url=https://nova.rs/zabava/showbiz/pokrenuta-peticija-da-se-ponovi-glasanje-na-pze-ziri-brutalno-pokrao-breskvicu/ |title=Pokrenuta peticija da se ponovi glasanje na PZE: 'Žiri brutalno pokrao Breskvicu' |trans-title=Petition started to repeat the PZE vote: "jury brutally robbed Breskvica" |language=sr-Latn |first=Irena |last=Dedakin |work=Nova S |date=2024-03-03 |access-date=2024-03-03}}
