Croatia will held the national Eurovision final DORA in March next year, when the contest in Croatia celebrates her 10th anniversary.

A Croatian newspaper named March 17 as the date for DORA 2002. The contest will be held in Zagreb at the Tvornica hall, the same venue as last year. The date is a little strange, because the EBU set March 11 as final date for the song submission. More news will follow probably !

The Croatian broadcaster HRT will soon begin to invite submissions for the 2002 contest. Once again the contest will be open to established performers only; unsigned artists will not be invited to enter. The HRT Big Band and the strings of the Zagreb Symphony Orchestra will take care of the music.
