Twenty songs were presented in the national final, which was held on 6 March 1998 at the Crystall Ballroom of the Hotel Kvarner in Opatija, accompanied by the big orchestra of Croatian Radio Television. Daniela Trbović and Ljudevit Grgurić Grga hosted the event, and the winning song was chosen primarily by jury voting - 20 juries - one each in the 20 Croatian provinces, plus a 21st jury which came from the votes of the televoting public.[1]
Heading into the final of the contest, BBC reported that bookmakers ranked the entry joint 12th out of the 25 entries.[2] Danijela performed 1st in the running order on the night of the contest, preceding Greece. At the close of voting "Neka mi ne svane" received 131 points,[3] placing Croatia 5th out of 25 competing countries.[4]
The Croatian televoting awarded its 12 points to the United Kingdom.

^Spain originally gave its 12 points to Israel and 10 to Norway. After the broadcast it was announced that Spanish broadcaster wrongly tallied the votes and Germany should have got the top mark - 12 points - instead of being snubbed, as it happened. The mistake was corrected and so Germany was placed 7th over Norway. Israel and Norway both received 2 points less than originally and Croatia, Malta, Portugal, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Belgium, Estonia and Turkey all received one point less than indicated during the broadcast.
