/4 Comments/in , , /by

Kosovo is not going to take part in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2025 either!

Kosovo’s national broadcaster RTK has not received the coveted invitation from the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) to take part in the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest in Switzerland. According to a post by Kosovo’s official Eurovision account on X, the EBU did not give the green light for political reasons. In addition, they confirmed to RTK that in order to take part in the pan-European competition, they would have to become a full member of the organization.

For the record, Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia in 2008, without the latter accepting this fact. To date, 104 member states of the United Nations and three more non-UN member countries (Taiwan, Cook Islands and Niue) have recognized Kosovo as independent, while 10 countries have withdrawn their recognition. At the European level, Kosovo’s independence is not recognized by Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Cyprus, Georgia, Greece, Moldova, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Spain and Ukraine.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Andriy Danilko, who plays the well-known and beloved Verka Serduchka, declares that he will not be a member of the jury again in the country’s national final for Eurovision, asking for changes.

The famous Ukrainian artist was a judge in the national final of Ukraine from 2016 to 2020 and this year. Andriy Danylko says the national final has lost the elements of tension and surprise since the two semi-finals were scrapped and is calling for their return so he can be a judge again.

Despite his disagreements with the selection process, Andriy Danylko strongly supported this year’s representatives Jerry Heil and Alyona Alyona.

Ukraine has yet to confirm its participation in Eurovision 2025, although it is expected to participate as normal. It is most likely that they will follow the method of the national final for the selection of their participation for the next year as well.

This year Ukraine was represented in Malmö by Alyona Alyona and Jerry Heil and the song “Teresa & Maria” finishing in the third place of the grand final receiving 453 points.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Eurovision 2024 will go down in history as possibly the most controversial in the contest’s history. The Dutch entry’s disqualification the day before the grand final was one of the incidents that captured the attention of both the media and the fans. The EBU provided justification for this decision by stating that Joost Klein, the country’s representative, had used violence towards a member of the production team, however it did not clarify if this was verbal or physical abuse.

The Dutch public broadcaster, Avrotros, expressed its disappointment and with the EBU’s decision, calling it “disproportionate to the circumstances”.

There were a lot of controversial incidents during this year’s competition; the one mentioned above was just one of them. In this regard, the EBU has declared that it would modify the competition’s rules in order to ensure its seamless operation and prevent a recurrence of this year’s events. You can read our related article for further information about these modifications.

As a result, based on information from Dutch media AD, the country’s public television will examine the impending changes and determine whether or not the Netherlands will participate in the upcoming competition.

According to broadcaster’s spokesperson, it is a positive step that an investigation is being carried out. He emphasised, though, that these words needed to be turned into actions, that is, significant and meaningful adjustments that might guarantee both the competitors’ psychological well-being and the competition’s seamless operation.
