Croatia debuted in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2003 and won the first competition represented by Dino Jelusić and his song ā€œTi si moja prva ljubavā€. Following their victory, Croatia was due to host the competition after the United Kingdom had difficulties. However, Croatia also had to withdraw as their planned venue was booked for the dates of the contest. Croatia went on to participate until 2006 when they withdrew from the competition. In 2014 Croatia returned represented by Josie and her song ā€œGame Overā€. She finished last with 13 points.
