Eurovision Winner Slates Finnish Hosts
from doteurovision.com
The charm free zone that is Eurovision winner Marija Serifovic has upset the Finnish press by having a pop at her Helsinki hosts.
During a recent ill-judged press conference, the singer whined about the food during her stay in the country, claiming she survived on biscuits and fruit. Doteurovision suggests the former rather than the latter featured centre stage in her regime.
Closet hopping Marija went on to say that she hated her time in Helsinki surrounded by blondes and people with what she called 'transparent skin'. It repulsed her physically she added. She was however grateful for the twelve points awarded her Balkan production line ballad 'Molvita'. Journalists sat open-mouthed at her tirade which she later tried to pass off as an attempt at a joke.
The singer is no stranger to controversy, following her victory at the contest in May, she did not shirk from a few not-so-veiled political remarks of her own. "I honestly think that a new chapter has opened in Serbia and not only in music," she said. "This victory is for the new Serbia."
She spoke as the country's years-long battle between pro and anti-European forces entered a new stage, just after parliament had elected a controversial ultranationalist, Tomislav Nikolic, as its speaker - a move that drew condemnation from Brussels and awoke fears of a return to war-time levels of ethnic and regional tensions. The contest took place as parliament opened a debate on Nikolic's removal.
Her clenched fist victory salute was widely seen as a show of defiance by the forces in Serbia that stand in direct opposition to the ultranationalists and their policy of isolation and hostility to all minorities.
