Croatia was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2001 with the song "Strings of My Heart", written by Tonči Huljić, Vjekoslava Huljić, and Ante Pecotić, and performed by Vanna. The Croatian participating broadcaster, Hrvatska radiotelevizija (HRT), organised the national final Dora 2001 to select its entry for the contest. Twenty entries competed in the national final on 4 March 2001 and "Strune ljubavi" performed by Vanna was selected as the winner following the combination of votes from five regional juries, a six-member expert jury, a regional televote and an online vote. The song was later translated from Croatian to English for Eurovision and was titled "Strings of My Heart".
