Croatia in the Eurovision Song Contest+<\/p>\n
Croatia debuted in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1993. They were one of three countries to debut in the contest that year. Croatia\u2019s best result came in 2024 when Baby Lasgana finished 2nd in Malm\u00f6. 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 Croatia returned to the contest in 2016 having withdrawn after the 2013 contest due to a string of poor results and financial difficulties.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":"The final eight artists have qualified for the final of Dora 2026.
