Croatia: Your guide to 'Dora 2023'

HOW TO WATCH: 'Dora 2023' will be broadcast on HRT 1, as well as online via the Croatian broadcaster's streaming service HRTi. The show starts at 20:15 CET on Saturday 11 February.

Dora 2023 sees the song contest mark its 24th edition. It is a one-night event, with the three-hour show presenting 18 songs competing for the chance to represent Croatia in Liverpool in May. 

As in previous years, voting will be done via both a public vote and a jury vote, with a 50% weighting given to each, to decide the winner.

The Marino Cvetković Sports Hall in Opatija, a seaside resort in the west of Croatia, will play host to the big night, put together by Croatian broadcaster HRT. Mirko Fodor, Mario Lipovšek Battifiaca and Marko Tolja will be our presenters for the evening, taking us through the performances, as well as the tense voting as the night draws to a close!

Regular viewers of the Eurovision Song Contest might well recognise a couple of familiar faces if they tune in. Tony Cetinski, who represented Croatia at the Contest in 1994, will be a guest performer on the evening. Damir Kedžo meanwhile, who won the chance to represent Croatia at the 2020 Contest, before it was cancelled, is competing in Dora 2023 with the song Angels and Demons.
