Let's start the search again. According to the logic, 43 countries will participate in 2014. The ESC winner will not win the cup. This is all I know.

Dates: 13th, 15th and 17th of May!

Less than a year to go!! I hope they don't move the contest a week earlier as 99% I have a wedding that Saturday!

Lets hope that there will be 2 semis instead of one,
because i smell many withdrawals.

why would you guys withdraw ? People would set SVT headquarters on fire if they did It already was almost a riot when Sweden stayed out of the final in 2010

 

[AdelAdel]

Wow, last time it took Latvia forever to confirm and now they're confirming right off the bat?

There's no way we'll withdraw, MF is the most viewed annual show here in Sweden and ESC is one of the most viewed aswell...

Don't jump to conclusions yet. Just because none of the five ex-Yugoslav countries who entered this year (Croatia, F.Y.R. Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia) didn't reach the final is not a signal that they should withdraw.

Look how Netherlands didn't qualify from 2005 to 2012, but they carried on, and reached the final with "Birds" this year.

The thing with Sweden is that MF will never die, so you'll always have an entry chosen regardless of whether you want it or not

According to Wikipedia, Jon Ola Sand is discussing with Turkish delegation.

 

[AdelAdel]

So now "discussing participation" and "thinking about returning" is considered as "confirmed entries"? 3
