Baby Lasagna won Croatia’s national selection Dora 2024 and will represent the country at Eurovision 2024 in Malmö with his song “Rim tim tagi dim”
After a week featuring 24 acts, only 16 made it to the final stage of Croatia’s Dora 2024. These finalists took the stage one last time, aiming to secure the ticket to Malmö in May and represent Croatia in Eurovision 2024.
Tonight’s final, held in HRT’s studios in Zagreb, was hosted by actor Duško Čurlić, TV hostess Maja Ciglenečki, and journalist Anja Cerar. Let 3, who represented Croatia in 2023, also performed during the show.
The decision on the winner was based on a combination of the televote (50%), the international jury (25%), and the Croatian jury (25%). After counting all the votes, Baby Lasagna emerged as the victor with the song “Rim tim tagi dim.”
“Rim tim tagi dim” was written by Baby Lasagna (Marko Purišić) himself.
