CROATIA CONFIRMS!

Zagreb, 5th January: The HRT, Hrvatska radiotelevizija, has confirmed that  Croatia will be participating in the jubilee 40th edition of the North Vision Song Contest. 

Despite a rather disappointing non-qualification last edition with Albina, we are still happy that we were close to qualifying. The success of several Balkan countries last edition, including an all Balkan top three, has inspired us to continue sending local talent and aim for the top. We are more than ready to give Croatia their best result ever.

We can also confirm that Dora is returning for its second edition, with more entries competing this time around.
