Croatia debuted in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1993. They were one of three countries to debut in the contest that year.

He performed the song \u201cRim Tim Tagi Dim\u201d which scored a total of 547 points, including 12 points from the juries in Cyprus and Serbia, and 9 sets of 12 points from the public vote. Croatia returned to the contest in 2016 having withdrawn after the 2013 contest due to a string of poor results and financial difficulties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eight artist have qualified from the first semi-final of Dora 2026, Croatia\u2019s selection for Eurovision 2026.
