May 30, 201015 yr There was a rumour I saw saying that 6 countries were considering withdrawing, I don't know all of them, but I think it mentioned Switzerland.
May 30, 201015 yr I don't think Portugal will withdraw, they've now had three years in a row making the final. Before that, they'd gone four years in a row missing the final.
May 30, 201015 yr I don't blame them. I'd say they are the worst victims of Bloc voting. Yet they almost qualified in the largest semi final in 2007. Again, they just need to send something people are going to want to vote for! There was a rumour I saw saying that 6 countries were considering withdrawing, I don't know all of them, but I think it mentioned Switzerland. I'd guess at Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Slovakia, Slovenia (Though I'd be devastated :( ) and Switzerland.
May 30, 201015 yr Author I predict Macedonia, Lithuania, Poland and Switzerland will all withdraw for 2011. No countries will debut or return leaving just 35 countries for next year.

I'd guess at Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Slovakia, Slovenia (Though I'd be devastated :( ) and Switzerland. I'd say Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia are pretty certain to go unless they get private financing again. Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland and Netherlands are likely.

Hell will freeze over before a Balkan country leaves without being forced out.
May 30, 201015 yr Ain't Kosovo debuting next year :unsure: I don't think they're a member of the EBU or the UN yet. I don't see Kosovo debuting next year, but possibly Liechtenstein if they can get EBU membership.

May 30, 201015 yr uhm Montenegro is not a balkan country than?? :rolleyes: Whoops, short memory :lol: Circumstances are pretty different in Montenegro though, aren't they? Eurovision is insanely popular in all the other Balkan nations, but Montenegro never really had enough success for it to entrench itself in the public conscious there, did it?
May 30, 201015 yr Confirmed Participation Albania Belgium Cyprus Denmark Estonia Finland Germany Romania Spain Sweden These all have sources to back them up
May 30, 201015 yr Confirmed Participation Albania Belgium Cyprus Denmark Estonia Finland Germany Romania Spain Sweden These all have sources to back them up UK and France to add part of the big 4 :P unless the big 4 breaks up
May 30, 201015 yr Kosovo aren't going to enter any time soon. Russia will veto any UN membership, and they need that to achieve EBU membership...
