Tonight in Zagreb, the quarter-final of Dora, the Croatian national pre-selection for the Eurovision Song Contest took place. Two acts have qualified for the final: Jacques Houdek and Mirko Svendar.

Four acts competed, each performing one song in Croatian and one in English. Jacques Houdek and Mirko Svendar, known as Ziga, qualified for next week's semi-final, the penultimate round of the competition. Next week it will be revealed whether Katica Marinovic or Daria Kinzer has got through, and the three acts will compete for two places in the big final on 5th March, when Croatia willl choose its artist and song for Düsseldorf.

As was the case in the last three programmes, Mirko Svendar got the most votes, therefore he reprised one of the songs he performed, Help by the Beatles.
