Slovakia back to the Eurovision Song Contest

Slovakian public broadcaster STV announced that it will bring Slovakia back to the Eurovision Song Contest in Moscow next year. It will be the first time that the country participates in eleven years.

Slovakia has entered the competition three times in the past, with poor results on each occasion.
They entered for the first time in 1994 with Martin Durinda and Tublatanka singing Nekonečná pieseň, winning just 15 points. In total, they have picked up only 42 points.

Slovakia: Eurovision a question of money

from esctoday com

It's been 10 years since we last had a Slovak competitor at the Eurovision Song Contest, when Katarína Hasprová sang "Modlitba" for the country in Birmingham. However, it seems that at long last, we will get a follow up to that song in Belgrade!

Elena Mallickova, head of international relations at Slovak broadcaster STV, has confirmed that STV is currently very interested in making a return to the contest in 2008.

She stresses, however, that STV is one of the smallest members of the EBU in terms of revenue, and therefore finding the budget for it could be a struggle. Despite this, she remains hopeful that we could see a Slovak entry in 2008!
