Geneva, Switzerland -

Young talents between 10 and 15 years old from 13 countries will gather in Kyiv, Ukraine, this November to take part in the 7th running of the annual Junior Eurovision Song Contest, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) announces today. The live show, hosted by national public broadcaster NTU, is set to take place on Saturday, 21st of November, and will be broadcast live on television across Europe and on the internet via www.junioreurovision.tv.

The 13 countries to be represented are:

  • Armenia (ARMTV)
  • Belarus (BTRC)
  • Belgium (VRT)
  • Cyprus (CyBC)
  • FYR Macedonia (MKRTV)
  • Georgia (GPB)
  • Malta (PBS)
  • The Netherlands (AVRO)
  • Romania (TVR)
  • Russia (RTR)
  • Serbia (RTS)
  • Sweden (TV4)
  • Ukraine (NTU)

Swedish broadcaster TV4 returns to the competition after a year of absence.

Last week, the EBU Steering Group for the event visited NTU in Kyiv to be informed about the preparations for the upcoming Junior Eurovision Song Contest. "The Ukrainian organisers are eager to produce the best ever Junior Eurovision Song Contest. One thing is for sure; Europe can already look forward to a spectacular family entertainment show to take place on the 21st of November," said Svante Stockselius, Executive Supervisor of the event on behalf of the EBU.

In 2005, NTU successfully hosted the 50th Eurovision Song Contest. The upcoming Junior Eurovision Song Contest will take place at the same venue as the adult competition in 2005, the Kyiv Sports Palace.

There are only 4 West-European countries, the rest is all East-European and they will vote for eacht other ( the East-Europeans)
It's a shame that Turkey and Azerbaijan don't even participate, they are always good!
I say: vote for Sweden, Malta, the Neterlands or Belgium !!

Okay

I can just say that last year winners had nothing to do with Georgia
Because there where many places in the song that was taken from other kind of well known music
And they sing in imaginary language not Georgian

I like Georgia
But just because Georgia won last year, dosent it means that the song have something to do with Georgia

а русским не за что вас ненавидеть, разве что по той же причине, за что ты не любишь русских... два нациста у власти с обоих сторон что-то не поделили и теперь два близких народа цепочкой повелись в ту же сторону - глупо

Ой сомневаюсь ! Я уже натерпелся таких псевдо "добрых русских", и теперь уверен, что все русские поголовно нас ненавидят

если попробуешь не ставить штампы на людей, вокруг тебя появится намного больше людей, которые любят украинцев;) скорее всего те кого ты видишь, лишь реакция на твое отношение)

Siozia, ненависть - глупость внушаемая политиками. Когда страны дружат, у народов мир и любовь, а когда возникают претензии, это переносится и на народы. Вот кто много читает всякие газетенки, отлично подвержен этому влиянию. Несмотря на последние события в Грузии, не знаю ни одного русского, который плохо относился бы к грузинам, потому что мои друзья ведут здоровый образ жизни и не читает всякое гавно.

Хотел бы посмотреть хотябы на одного русского, который бы нормально относился к украинцу или грузину. Как не крути, а ненависть к нашим народам у русских в крови

Мы это кто? Если для тебя отношение к людям измеряется территорией, то может и украинцы, которые живут в России одинаково ненавидят и грузин или украинцев? Не надо мешать политику и человечность, у меня не меняется отношение к народам в зависимости от политических изменений в стране, чего и тебе желаю)

Lenal, какой вы хАроший ))) аж смешно. Давай не ты не будешь переходить на то, в какой стране кто живет ! Все давно знают, как вы относитесь к Украинцам и Грузинам. Давно не секрет ! А я просто отвечаю на это взаимностью
