At first, Goran Karan (who represented Croatia in Eurovision 2000) was one of the 16 participants, but he decided to withdraw after Croatian media has revealed that the singer has already performed his intended song live in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The back-up entry that entered to the line-up instead of him is Elis Lovrić
You can pay attention that some of the names are familiar:
#Lorena Bućan was the runner-up of l “Dora 2019“(Croatian National Selection for Eurovision 2020) and performed “Tower of Babylon“
#Bojan Jambrosic competed last year in “Dora 2019” as a part of a duet with Danijela Pintaric. They performed “Vrijeme Predaje” and ended in 9th place
#Jure Brkljaca competed last year in “Dora 2019” and ended in 8th place. He performed “Ne Postojim Kad Nisi Tu”
# Indira was well known as the lead singer of The Dance Trio Colonia until 2015. Since then, she works as a solo singer. Indira and Colonia will face each other in “Dora 2020”
Another 3 back-up entries for Dora 2020 will be:
1. Marcela Orosi – Let me Break Your Heart
2. Dino Petrić – Što si meni ti (Eng: “What You Are To Me”)
