The funding problem that BHRT is facing for the past years has been temporarily solved with a two-million euros fund granted for the broadcaster by the Council of Ministers. The extreme financial problems that BHRT is facing almost led to the shutdown of the country’s public television.
The payment now granted for BHRT is intended to cover its studio and production needs along with the broadcast rights for Euro 2024 and the Summer Olympics.
However, the afore-mentioned is only a temporal solution. The problem shall be solved from the ground up and according to the Minister of Communications and Transport, Edin Forto:
This is the first step. The second one must be the urgent appointment of the FTV management structures in the Parliament of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in order to regulate the method of collecting the RTV tax within the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in a fair manner. The third step is the adoption of a new law that will permanently regulate the stability of public services and from which all three services will have stronger support than today.
What threatens the sustainability of BHRT?
The problem lies on the distribution of the Radio and Television tax between broadcasters inside Bosnia and Herzegovina. Radio Television of the Republika Srpska (RTRS), which has had a special agreement on the collection of Radio and Television tax since 2017, does not transfer a single BAM(Bosnian currency) to BHRT.
Hence, the entity broadcaster violates Article 23 of the Law on Public RTV Service and illegally accumulates money from the RTV tax on its account that does not belong to it, leaving BHRT in the red, despite the fact that the Federal Television program depends on BHRT fulfilling its obligations.
Along with RTRS, the Radio Television of the FBiH (RTVFBiH) does not pay any funds to BHRT. In fact, BHRT rents its premises to RTVFBiH and provides it with studios, cameras and technical expertise in order to produce the program.
With RTRS and RTVFBiH collecting illegally money and BHRT being in the red, people are worrying about the worst-case scenario, a shutdown, since it can no longer perform its function.
The solution, according to BHRT, is that the Radio and Television tax money is paid into their account, and they guarantee a more equitable distribution than before.
Bosnia and Herzegovina has a long way to go before it can combat corruption within the state, become more modern, and operate in accordance with European standards.
It is also worth noticing that Bosnia and Herzegovina is the only country in the whole continent of Europe that does have a digital signal, seven years following the conclusion of the first phase of digitization.
We hope that this will be a step towards a BHRT sustainability as well as the country’s return to the Eurovision Song Contest.
Bosnia and Herzegovina at Eurovision
Due to the afore-mentioned financial burdens EBU has sanctions imposed on BHRT for failing to meet its financial obligations. Hence, the Balkan country remains absent from the contest since 2017. Meanwhile, its last participation was in 2016 with Dalal, Deen, Ana Rucner and Jala and the song “Ljubav je”. Along with the country’s last appearance at the Eurovision Song Contest up to this day, it was also Bosnia and Herzegovina’s first non qualification.

The EBU has asked the government of Bosnia and Herzegovina to solve the funding problems of the public broadcaster, BHRT.
EBU Director General, Noel Curran, had recently reached out to both the Prime Minister and the Ministers of the country regarding BHRT’s financial problems.
Noel Curran had expressed his concern, on behalf of the EBU, about the serious issues threatening the future of BHRT – which is a member of the European Broadcasting Union.
In the letter, Curran states:
“We understand the complexity of the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the long-standing difficulties that BHRT faces in collecting the funds that are due and belong to it. However, it is crucial that we can urgently find a long-term solution to its financing problems”
It goes on to say that public television plays an irreplaceable role in society, as it “promotes democratic debate, supports social cohesion and strengthens public spirit” in hard times.
“To fulfil this role, an adequate and stable budget is required. We are asking you to help find a sustainable solution to BHRT’s funding problems and protect its future. The laws passed by the State of Bosnia and Herzegovina confirm that the state is responsible for ensuring sustainable funding independently of the broadcaster”
Curran went on to state that the EBU stands ready to help settle BHRT’s funding issues “on a national level” and help find a solution to the complex funding situation, while the letter continues as follows:
“At a time when access to reliable news and information is crucial, we must do everything in our power to protect and preserve the work of public services like the BHRT, and I have confidence in your support on this matter”
Bosnian public broadcaster, BHRT, was previously in charge of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s participation in the Eurovision Song Contest up until 2016. The broadcaster had previously confirmed that they remained sanctioned by the EBU and would not participate in the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest.
The European Broadcasting Union first placed sanctions on BHRT in December 2016 when the EBU cut off BHRT’s access to the Eurovision News Exchange. BHRT was then restricted access to events and has been unable to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest since 2018.
In the past year, there has been discussion in the Bosnian Government that there would be reform to the public broadcasters’ funding, however, this has not materialised.
Bosnia and Herzegovina‘s last participation was in 2016, with Dalal & Deen feat. Ana Rucner & Jala and “Ljubav Je“ placing 11th in their semi-final.

Bosnia and Herzegovina, a once-thriving at Eurovision Balkan country, has been absent from the Eurovision Song Contest for the past eight years. In fact, the country’s absence is due to EBU sanctions imposed on BHRT for failing to meet its financial obligations. Meanwhile, BHRT has been stating for years through its officials that the broadcaster is experiencing financial difficulties due to a lack of funding.
All of the above is correct, and it appears that the situation is serious enough to necessitate a complete shutdown of BHRT.
The problem on the distribution of funds
The problem lies on the distribution of the Radio and Television tax between broadcasters inside Bosnia and Herzegovina. Radio Television of the Republika Srpska (RTRS), which has had a special agreement on the collection of Radio and Television tax since 2017, does not transfer a single BAM(Bosnian currency) to BHRT.
Hence, the entity broadcaster violates Article 23 of the Law on Public RTV Service and illegally accumulates money from the RTV tax on its account that does not belong to it, leaving BHRT in the red, despite the fact that the Federal Television program depends on BHRT fulfilling its obligations.
Along with RTRS, the Radio Television of the FBiH (RTVFBiH) does not pay any funds to BHRT. In fact, BHRT rents its premises to RTVFBiH and provides it with studios, cameras and technical expertise in order to produce the program.
With RTRS and RTVFBiH collecting illegally money and BHRT being in the red, people are worrying about the worst-case scenario, a shutdown, since it can no longer perform its function.
Is there a solution?
The current contract on the collection of the Radio and Television tax, the distribution of which is threatening the operation of BHRT, was in force till December 31, 2023. A new direction has to be drawn, leading to a financial sustainability of BHRT. The solution, according to BHRT, is that the Radio and Television tax money is paid into their account, and they guarantee a more equitable distribution than before.
A new law on the Public Television Services is being advocated by the Ministry of Transport and Communications in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in order to benefit the Bosnian Television and save BHRT. According to Edin Forto, the Minister of Transport and Communications:
What I repeat and what is very important as a state minister, it is very important to know that, the financial sustainability of the Public Broadcasting System is one of the 14 priorities of the European Commission. We must treat it as important as any other law that is listed in those 14 priorities. The sustainability of the RTV public service in Bosnia and Herzegovina, that’s why I advocate that, as it is written in the state law on public service, that all funds be paid on a single account, and we will insist on that. Of course from both entities, and then that in in accordance with the law, they distribute those funds as it is written in the law, as much as it goes to whom.
Bosnia and Herzegovina has a long way to go before it can combat corruption within the state, become more modern, and operate in accordance with European standards.
It is also worth noticing that Bosnia and Herzegovina is the only country in the whole continent of Europe that does have a digital signal, seven years following the conclusion of the first phase of digitization.
Hopefully, this new law will aid in better fund distribution and, as a result, save Bosnia and Herzegovina’s public broadcaster from closure. The sustainability of its public television service is also critical to the country’s admission to the European Union.
Bosnia and Herzegovina last participated at Eurovision back in 2016 with Dalal, Deen, Ana Rucner and Jala and the song “Ljubav je”. Along with the country’s last appearance at the Eurovision Song Contest up to this day, it was also Bosnia and Herzegovina’s first non qualification.

The sanctions posed by the EBU on the Bosnian broadcaster BHRT, due to unpaid dabts, remain in force, excluding the country from the upcoming contest.
The first penalties on the public broadcaster of Bosnia and Herzegovina were imposed in December of 2016, when the EBU discontinued BHRT’s access to the Eurovision News Exchange and since then, the country is unable to participate on the Eurovision Song Contest. It is noted that the last Bosnian entry on the Contest was the song “Ljubav Je”, sung by Dalal and Deen featuring Ana Rucner and Jala who ended up 11th on their respective Semi-Final.
BHRT is facing financial difficulties and is even close to shutting down completely, taking the funding issues that has been dealing with since 2017 into account · this is because the Radio Television of Republica Srpska has not funded BHRT with the needed financial sources. There may have been negotiations around the matter for the past year, but a solution has not come up.
This is not the first time that the EBU forces sanctions on a participating broadcaster due to unfulfilled financial responsibilities. In 2016, the Romania’s TVR faced a penalty for the same reason as BHRT.
The country’s last participation was in Eurovision 2016 in Stockholm. The country was represented by Dalal, Deen, Ana Rucner and Jala with the song “Ljubav je”, but the country failed to qualify for the grand final for the first time as it finished 11th in the first semi-final.

BHRT, the national broadcaster of Bosnia-Herzegovina has confirmed that the country will not return to Eurovision 2024.
The Balkan country withdrew for the first time back in 2013, returned to the contest 3 years after, in 2016, and since 2017 remains absent from any Eurovision event. The reasons behind Bosnia’s withdrawal are the financial problems that BHRT is facing.
Except Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovakia has confirmed its absence from Eurovision 2024 also claiming financial problems. Meanwhile, Luxembourg will return to Malmö after 30 years of absence.

Bosnia and Herzegovina is not returning to the Eurovision Song Contest in 2024 either!
For another year, this Balkan country will not take part in the European competition, continuing the streak of abstention from 2017. Today, the head of the international affairs department of BHRT, Leijla A. Babović, stated that the country would most likely not return to the contest in 2024 as the broadcaster remains under sanctions by the EBU due to unpaid debts.
The country’s last participation was in Eurovision 2016 in Stockholm. The country was represented by Dalal, Deen, Ana Rucner and Jala with the song “Ljubav je”, but the country failed to qualify for the grand final for the first time as it finished 11th in the first semi-final.

BHRT, the national broadcaster of Bosnia and Herzegovina will not broadcast the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 which takes place in Liverpool, United Kingdom next week.
BHRT has confirmed that the Eurovision Song Contest will not be broadcast by the broadcaster in Bosnia and Herzegovina, marking 7 years since the contest was last broadcast in the country. The most recent Eurovision-related show broadcast by BHRT was Eurovision: Europe Shine a Light in 2020, the special show organised by the EBU for the cancellation of the 2020 Contest due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
BHRT is a member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) but has been blocked from accessing the Union’s services due to the organisation’s high debt. So from December 2016 the country is unable to compete and/or broadcast the competition.
The country’s last participation was in Eurovision 2016 in Stockholm. The country was represented by Dalal, Deen, Ana Rucner and Jala with the song “Ljubav je”, but the country failed to qualify for the grand final for the first time as it finished 11th in the first semi-final.
So far, the non-participating in Eurovision 2023 countries that have confirmed the broadcast of this year’s contest are the following:
Chile – Canal 13
North Macedonia – MRT
Slovakia – Radio_FM
United States – Peacock

Α revelation that shook the waters of the competition took place earlier today. The EBU has announced changes to the voting system of the Eurovision Song Contest.
One of the most important changes are that now only the public will choose the finalists in the two semi-finals, while now global viewers from countries all around the world that do not participate in the competition will also be able to vote!
The most important question is, What would have changed in the contest’s Semi-Finals if only the public chose the 10 finalists?
We will answer this question through this article, by seeing which countries would have qualified for the final from 2010 to 2022, if only the public vote was used, and which countries would have ultimately failed to qualify due to the lack of the juries.
Changes in the Results (2010-2022)
2010
In 2010, the system of 50% juries and 50% public vote, was applied for the first time in the Semi-Finals. There we find the first differences.
In the first Semi-Final we would have the qualification of Finland who finished sixth in the public vote, against Bosnia and Herzegovina who finished eleventh and were favored by the jury’s fifth place.
In the second Semi-Final, we would have the qualification of Lithuania and Sweden, against Israel and Ireland. In addition, the winner of the Semi-Final would be Azerbaijan and not Turkey.
Which means Sweden wouldn’t have failed to qualify once in their history at the competition.
2011
In the first Semi-Final, we would have the qualification of Armenia, Norway and Turkey, against Switzerland, Lithuania and Serbia. In fact, Lithuania was first by the juries and eleventh in the audience.
That means Turkey would have no non-qualifications in their history in the competition.
In the second Semi-Final, we would only have the qualification of Belarus, against the fan favorite that year, Estonia.
2012
Another year with huge changes in the results of the semi finals. In the first Semi-Final we would have Switzerland qualifying instead of Hungary.
In the second Semi-Final we would have the qualification of Bulgaria and the Netherlands, instead of Malta and Ukraine. Also, Norway was last in the jury vote and was saved by the public.
With these results, Ukraine would have lost the record as the only that has never failed to qualify for a final!
2013
Moving forward in 2013.
In the first Semi-Final, Croatia and Montenegro would have qualified against Estonia and Moldova. In fact, Moldova was third in the juries, while Montenegro was fourth in the audience.
In the second Semi-Final, Bulgaria and Switzerland would have qualified instead of Armenia and Georgia. While Romania would have been the winner of the semi final, instead of Azerbaijan.
2014
This year we can see two big changes. In the first Semi-Final we would have the qualification of Portugal instead of Azerbaijan, while in the second semi the qualification of Ireland, instead of Malta. In fact, Malta was third in the jury vote and twelfth in the public vote.
2015
In the first Semi-Final we would have the qualification of Finland, instead of Hungary, while in the second the Czech Republic instead of Azerbaijan.
2016
Moving on to the next year, in the first Semi-Final we would have seen the qualification of Bosnia-Herzegovina, instead of the Czech Republic and in the second Semi-Final we would have the qualification of North Macedonia and Belarus, instead of Georgia and Israel.
Τhe winner of the second semi final would have been Ukraine with Jamala, instead of Australia.
2017
In the first Semi-Final we would have the qualification of Finland instead of Australia, while in the second the qualification of Switzerland and Estonia, instead of Austria and Denmark. In fact, Australia was fifteenth in the audience and second in the juries.
2018
Let’s go to 2018 and see that in the first Semi-Final, we would have the qualification of Greece and Yianna Terzi, instead of Eugent Bushpepa, from Albania. Also, the winner would be Eleni Foureira and not Netta.
In the second Semi-Final, we would have Poland qualifying instead of the Netherlands, while the winner of the Semi-Final would be Denmark and not Norway. In fact, Denmark was twelfth in the juries.
2019
We can see some changes in 2019 too.
Poland would once again go through to the final instead of Belarus, while the winner of the first Semi-Final would be Iceland rather than Australia.
In the second Semi-Final, Lithuania would have qualified instead of Denmark, while the winner of the Semi-Final would have been Norway and not the Netherlands.
2021
Eurovision Song Contest came back after one year and in the first Semi-Final, we would have the qualification of Croatia with Albina, against Hooverphonic from Belgium. Finally, the winner of the Semi-Final would be Ukraine and not Malta.
In the second Semi-Final we would have the qualification of Denmark and Fyr og Flamme, against Anxhela Peristeri from Albania, while the winner of the Semi-Final was Finland, instead of Switzerland.
Last but not least we have this year’s edition of the contest. In the first Semi-Final, we would have seen the qualification of Ronela Hajati from Albania and not Marius Bear from Switzerland.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jWXmo0-ZjI
Finally, in the second Semi-Final, we would have the qualification of Andromache (last in the jury vote), against Nadir Rustamli, who had zero points in the televoting.
Based on the above, we notice that the removal of the juries from the Semi-Finals, can change a lot in the Semi-Final score, with obvious results in the Final as well.
The countries that we would say are favored by this change are Lithuania and Poland, countries with a large diaspora across Europe. Also, this change could make it easier for Turkey to return to the Competition.
The Balkan countries Bulgaria, Croatia, Montenegro, as well as Armenia, which has a strong diaspora, also benefit from the changes.
What are the implications?
Jury favourites, Azerbaijan, Australia and Malta seem to have some difficulty in the competition as their qualification in recent years has been largely down to the juries.
Ranking changes
Changes are also observed in the ranking. In particular, audiences seem to prefer funny presentations and ethnic and dance songs instead of ballads or vocally challenged entries in general that usually are more appreciated by the juries.
General Conclusion
With all the above, we can say that in 2023 the TV viewers seems to have the main responsibility with the results of the contest. Although, on the Grand Final we see the casual jurors deciding half of the results, things will changes dramatically since from this year the goal for a lot of countries will be to first reach the final by having a song that the public will support. This also means that EBU seems to want to attract more and more of the public attention, but what would happen if a lot of good entries stay out of the final and more and more “funny” songs qualify but the juries still ignore on their final voting?
What a country will have to do to win both is find the entry that can surprise both the viewers and the jurors on the final night.
