 RTE are having a lot of budget cuts, and Ireland is in the middle of a financial crisis. One of the main reasons that threatens Irish participation.  RTVSLO yet again, face cuts and lack of success. And they've been having protests.  TVE Might carry on, as their duty of being in the big 5, as they probably don't want to lost that status.  BNT would have withdrawn this year, if they didn't have a replacement song. Hopefully they'll be in Denmark...but then again.  Almost certain Austria will not withdraw, ORF being perfectly capable of supporting the financial fee and have no real reasons to object participation.  Israel always come up in rumours to withdraw, especially with security. But most of the time they're just bluffing, so they'll probably be in Denmark.  Unsure yet again, they only just afforded it this year. A break could do Cyprus well to recover financially.  Well, they're partly funded by the Italian broadcaster RAI...they've had a short run in Eurovision. One more try shouldn't hurt right? |

And Austria remained the only one who I really think that may withdraw. I mean they reduced by every year the size of their national selection, showing less intrest at every time.. I don't know nothing tbh, I hope they won't take this decision  I think I read somewhere that  Austria said they want to take part now for some time at least. |

I'm having a feeling will withdraw I don't think so. I mean, in 2009 they made a fantastic 5th place, in 2011 it was a 11th place and this year was a bit better than last year.  And they are in the Big 5, I think they won't want to loose it. |

Little Boots said something about representing the UK, but I don't know if it's serious or joking.
