Croatia Eurovision Songs

The Croatian representative in the Eurovision Song Contest is selected at the pop festival Dora, an annual event organized by the national public broadcaster HRT. The first Dora was held in 1993, after Croatia gained independence from Yugoslavia and continued to participate in the ESC. Together with Sweden and Malta, and the 4 countries that are for financial reasons entitled to take part every year, Croatia is one of the few countries that has not missed a contest since 1993, when the lowest scorers each year got relegated.



There have been no interruptions in the Croatian participation in the ESC from their first appearance in 1993 to 2006 making it one of the few countries that participated in every final since its first entry.



Croatia's worst placing was in Dublin, Ireland on May 3rd, 1997, when E.N.I. placed 17th with the song "Probudi Me".



Croatia's best placings were in Oslo, Norway on May 18, 1996, when Maja Blagdan placed 4th with the song "Sveta Ljubav", and in Jerusalem, Israel on May 29, 1999, when Doris Dragovis also placed 4th, with the song "Marija Magdalena".



Dragonfly feat. Dado Topic will represent Croatia in Helsinki in May 2007., with their song "Vjerujem u Ljubav".
