Moments ago, eurovision.tv announced further details about Monday's draw to determine which semi final the 38 countries will participate in. The draw will take place with a live broadcast of procedures on the official Eurovision Song Contest website on Monday 28th January at 13:00 CET. �eljko Joksimovic, who finished second at the 2004 Eurovision Song Contest with Lane Moje and composed Hari Mati Hari's 2006 Eurovision Song Contest entry Lejla for Bosnia & Herzegovina, will perform during the draw show.

The 38 countries represented in the two Eurovision Song Contest semi finals have been entered into six pots, based on geographic location and mathematical voting patterns since 2004. From each pot, the countries will be divided between the two semi finals.

From the two pots with seven countries, three from one pot will be joined by four countries from the other and vice versa. Both semi finals will therefore have 19 competing countries, who will battle for ten places in the final.

The top nine countries from each semi final by way of the traditional voting pattern will qualify. They will be joined by the highest placed country as voted for by the back-up juries that did not finish in the top nine from the televote result.

At the beginning of the draw, two envelopes with 'Semi-Final 1' and 'Semi-Final 2' will be drawn. The country left in Pot 5 takes part in the Semi-Final that is written in the first envelope. The country left in Pot 6 takes part in the Semi-Final that is written in the second envelope.

Pot 1	Pot 2	Pot 3
Albania	Denmark	Belgium
Bosnia & Herzegovina	Estonia	Bulgaria
Croatia	Finland	Cyprus
FYR Macedonia	Iceland	Greece
Montenegro	Norway	The Netherlands
Slovenia	Sweden	Turkey
Pot 4	Pot 5	Pot 6
Andorra	Armenia	Azerbaijan
Ireland	Belarus	Czech Republic
Latvia	Georgia	Hungary
Lithuania	Israel	Malta
Portugal	Moldova	Poland
Romania	Russia	San Marino
	Ukraine	Switzerland

The five remaining countries pre-qualified for the final: Serbia, France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom will be divided between the shows, using envelopes. Three will broadcast one semi final and have voting rights, the other two will broadcast the other semi final with voting rights.

All countries have the option to broadcast both shows, but will only be able to vote in the semi final that they are drawn to in Monday's ceremony.
