I think it’s in the EBU’s best interest to just sweep the whole  Hatari incident under a rug. They’re in a lose-lose situation rn where whatever action they take (or take none at all), will lead to harsh criticism. I think they won’t do anything more drastic than a mere fine, otherwise they would already create an unneeded distraction for the next contest. O.M.G Luca you did a great performance  ..... It's not you is it? I would’ve chosen a better song... |

How could  Kosovo debut when it's not a real country? There are currently 114 countries disagreeing with your statement |

A  Kosovar entry would not be worth it as  Serbia would definitely withdraw, loosing a high quality unique Balkan nation who always sings in their own language for what is pretty much a 2nd Albania. Kosovo singers should just sing for  Albania (like Lindita and Rona Nishliu) or for Serbia (like Nevena) - They mostly identify more with one of those two nations than the idea of a Kosovar identity and it saves so much needless drama |

Kosovo took part in major events recently like the World Cup (playoffs) and the Olympics, but Serbia didn't boycott them just because they have a problem with the admission of Kosovo, let alone the EBU and Eurovision. |

Perhaps if Kosovo debuts, the Balkan voting bloc will grow stronger. They'll give out/feed off votes from Serbia and Albania and would actually give Albania a strong voting ally in addition to  North Macedonia.  |

I personally support Kosovo's independence but for now Kosovo is not a real country. It is not in the UN. Russia also recognizes South Ossetia so that means it's a country, right? |

Russia also recognizes South Ossetia so that means it's a country, right? There's a difference between a disputed territory which has only one country recognizing their independence and a disputed territory that has an independence recognized from over half of the UN members. Also, if being in the UN means that the territory/country officially exists does that mean  Switzerland has been a country since 2002 as they joined UN back then? Edit: also being part of the UN isn't a requirement to participate in ESC, but being part of ITU or Council of Europe (which technically means you kinda have to be part in UN) has been a requirement, so I guess that's why we won't see Kosovo in a couple of years at Eurovision. |
