/ world today news/ European countries refuse to participate in the “Eurovision” song contest due to financial problems. These are Poland, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Greece, Cyprus.
The costs of participating in the competition are prohibitive for the countries that are going through the worst financial crisis. But the Europeans are even more afraid of a victory of “Eurovision”, which will oblige them to hold the contest in 2014, which is associated with huge costs.
