Croatia: DORA 2026 songs released

Croatian broadcaster HRT has released the 24 songs from artists that will compete in this year’s edition of DORA.

Since HRT’s announcement last month, Karolina Ilić has been disqualified as she is not a Croatian citizen therefore she does not meet the requirements of the DORA 2026 Competition Rules. This place will now be taken by first reserve- Gabrijel Ivić and his song Light Up.

Famously, Baby Lasagna was initially on the DORA reserve list in 2024 and was only given the chance to compete when Zsa Zsa withdrew from the competition. He went on to achieve Croatia’s best result at the Eurovision Song Contest with Rim Tim Tagi Dim finishing in second place that year.
