At Eurovision[]

Due to Serbia & Montenegro’s withdrawal from the contest this year, Croatia automatically qualified for the final based on the previous year's performance. Croatia performed 20th, following France and preceding Ireland, eventually coming 12th with 56 points.[4] As Croatia failed to reach the top 10 in the final, the country was forced to compete in the semi-final of the 2007 Contest.
