DORA 2025: Croatian selection for Eurovision in detail

What is the DORA selection ?

DORA is the national competition that each year determines Croatia's representative at Eurovision. Organized by Croatian public broadcaster HRT, il est une véritable institution dans le paysage musical du pays depuis sa première édition en 1993.

A DORA 2025 full of promise

DORA 2025 returns to Opatija, the coastal town that has hosted the competition on several occasions. This year the organizers recorded an all-time record number of entries, with 221 songs submitted. This is certainly not unrelated to Croatia's historic result in 2024 with Baby Lasagna and his Rim Tim Tagi Dim. Le succès de l’année passée a suscité un regain d’intérêt pour le concours. Un comité de professionnels a eu la tâche délicate de réduire cette liste à 24 chansons. Parmi les participants figure le groupe Magazin connu pour avoir représenté la Croatie en 1995 avec « Nostalgija ».

The songs will be unveiled on platforms on January 9, 2025.
