\n

\u201cThis year’s selection of the Croatian song for the Eurovision Song Contest \u2013 Dora 2026 \u2013 will be held at the HRT studio in Zagreb’s Prisavlje. The decision was made by the Croatian Radio and Television with the aim of improving production and organizational conditions and further developing the project. In its statement, HRT thanks the City of Opatija for its long-standing hospitality and successful cooperation and confirms the continuation of partnership relations, as well as cooperation on future projects with the City of Opatija.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dora 2026 will be broadcast live on HTV programs, the HRTi platform and the HRT website, and the competition will take place in February 2026. Also, due to the special year in which HRT celebrates the 100th anniversary of radio and the 70th anniversary of television, and due to other major events such as the Winter Olympics and the World Cup, it was decided to change the venue – this year in Zagreb.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Following the closure of song submissions on November 23, an expert jury will select 24 songs to compete in Dora 2026, as well as four reserve songs in case any song is withdrawn<\/p>\n\n\n\n
