With Dragojević she also took third place at Jugovizija 1990 with "Sreća je tamo gdje si ti". In 1994 she won Split again with "Do posljednjeg daha", sung with Neno Belan, and "Dok ploviš morima" took the Grand Prix. "Zarobljena" won in 1997, when she was also second with Vinko Coce on "Sto mandolina", "Dobar dan ti, dušo" with Tony Cetinski won in 2001 and "Zauvijek" in 2006. Earlier, in 1985, she had sung "Prvi put osjećam" with Dražen Žanko at the Zagreb festival.

At Dora, the Croatian Eurovision selection, she was fourth in 1993 with "Nema mi do tebe" and in 1994 with "Ti si moj", and seventh in 1998 with "Nebo".
