The European Broadcasting Union has issued a calm statement concerning Serbian national broadcaster, RTS's decision to delay Beovizija, the national selection show to find the country's Eurovision Song Contest entry.
In the statement, it is made clear that this decision is well within the rules of the Eurovision Song Contest, and RTS has until March 17th to submit their entry for the competetition, as every participating country does. Svante Stockselius told eurovision.tv:
"The decision to postpone a national final is entirely up to to respective broadcaster – this also counts for RTS. All 43 participating countries should deliver their song no later than the 17th of March and there are no reasons to believe the Serbian entry won't be among them".
