Sweden is more than happy with the announcement of the running order made yesterday by the organizer of Eurovision Song Contest 2003, the Latvian broadcaster LTV.

The Swedish entry in Riga will start as number 25 out of the total of 26 competing songs. The leader of the selection jury as well as being the responsible for the national final Melodifestivalen 2003, Christer Björkman, told the Swedish news paper Aftonbladet that “this is a jackpot for Sweden. The entry being sung second last, has ended in one of the three medal positions being among the three best no less than three out of the five last years.”
