Kazimir Bačić the Director General of HRT has confirmed to Jurtarnji that Croatia will use ‘Dora’ in order to select it’s Eurovision entry for Tel Aviv.
A series of major projects in Entertainment programs
During his interview with Jutarnji, Bačić has confirmed that Dora will be one of the projects that HRT will be working on, along with other big entertainment projects such as “The Voice”.
It is anticipated that Dora will be returning in 2019, with the national selection being hosted in ‘Opatija’.
A return to the National Final format
Between 1993 and 2011, Croatia selected their Eurovision entry using “Dora”. However, after a couple of non-qualifications in 2010 and 2011, Croatia decided to stop using Dora and internally selected its representatives in 2012 and since their return to the contest in 2016.
