According to the Croatian article has the State broadcaster HRT still no definitive judgement about a Eurovision participation in Stockholm next year. Only at the end of december is the final decision expected.

The HRT would also still at odds with the way to select a suitable candidate. For years, the Croatian Eurovision songs fest Dora used as heat, but was internally chosen in 2012 and 2013. Now could it be possible that the winner of the local version of the talent show, The Voicethat is broadcast on the HRT in Croatia, the Eurovision ticket would get.

Also the broadcasting companies in Russia and Wallonia The Voice used as a way to indirectly a songfestivalkandidaat.

As the HRT or any other broadcaster thus withdraws now, she will not escape to the full participation fee is to be paid to the EBU.
