Speaking to HRT, they confirmed that “Mama ŠČ!” will remain in Croatian. Damir Martinovic explained that:

Our language is the most beautiful for singing songs like this. I really love words with a lot of “Š”, with a lot of “Č”, like the word “razbuljoviždiriš” or “ti crna, ti krvava čađo”. These are beautiful words. When you translate it, then it loses its meaning.That is why I enjoy our language and I am very pleased that we will sing in Croatian. It’s a beautiful language for singing. Although many say that English is the most beautiful.

Croatia’s representatives will appear in the first half of the first semi-final on May 9th .
