A Dal 2014 rules, to be finalized next week. A Dal, the Hungarian selection process that was founded in 2012 will continue as expected. The winner will be the 12th entrant in the contest for Hungary.
Rita Lencsó, the Head of Press of MTVA, stated that A Dal is going to be held next year once again, and that the rules will be finalized during next week. The deadline to enter a song will most probably be the 1st of December 2013.
Seeing the trend of the last Hungarian entrant being one of the jury members in A Dal the following year, we can expect Alex Márta (ByeAlex) to be one of the jurors in the 2014 edition of this national selection. It is yet unknown if Viktor Rakonczai, Philip Rákay, Jenő Csiszár will remain in the jury for the third year running, and if Magdi Rúzsa will join them once again as the only female juror.

CyBC to decide soon.The Cypriot broadcaster has remained quiet recently, but according to the HoD it's still unaware whether Cyprus will be attending the show in Denmark. With financial issues, it's proving to be difficult.

Serbia criticize Eurovision music, but still intend to compete. The broadcaster tries to overlook the participation fees, as it's Serbia's duty to continue participating in Eurovision.
Aleksander Tijanic also went on to say:
“In football, Serbia persistently plays in the Qualifications for the European Championships, without achieving positive results,” he said. “Seeing as no one is asking for the football team to quit playing the Qualifications, why would then Serbia withdraw from Eurovision?”
He also criticized Croatia's withdrawal too. Surprised that Klapa s Mora didn't do well.
He said:
“Croats gave up not because of money but because they did not record any success [at the contest],” he said. “They wandered with concepts, and recently sent a vocal group. It would be like [Serbia] sending some folk performers.”
But Serbia does still have a difficulty with the fee, around 200,000 euros can come from sponsors, another 150,000 is needed to pay the full fee.
