Incidents

  •   China - China's second place of the national selection has been taken by   Montenegro to compete at the main contest. This leaves   China with no choice but to send the entry that finished 3rd at the national selection. If the third would be also taken by someone, the rules would have not allow   China to choose 4th place and participate.
  •   Hungary - The country has made a shortlist with no proper national selection, and granted with participation after requesting to do so. However, many contestants shared their views that this was not a proper national selection, hence the country is not eligible to participate. The decision was not revoked, but the participant was informed that the selection rules has to be revised inside the country
