Croatia in Eurovision
Croatia debuted at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1993 with the six member group Put and their entry Don’t ever cry, and is yet to win the event. The Balkan country’s best results in the competition were achieved in 1996 (Maja Blagdan) and 1999 (Doris Dragovic), when it placed 4th in the Grand Final.
The country has competed 26 times in the contest and has not been very lucky in the competition in recent years, with its last top 10 finish in 2001.
In 2021 Albina represented Croatia at the Eurovision Song Contest with her entry ‘ Tick Tock‘.
