The press centre at Belgrade's Sava Centre opened this morning and the general view is 'so far, so good'. The area is different to previous years, with several press rooms for computers, a fan zone, viewing room, huge press conference area, large restaurant, cafe and plenty of fan areas.

The press centre seems to be the largest seen for the Eurovision Song Contest, and fans of the Helsinki bean bags will be thrilled to learn of huge bean-bag rooms where they can relax, watch rehearals on screen and follow everything with a very impressive information television channel put together by RTS.

The venue is split over three levels with a large restaurant area and massive viewing area for fans to watch the live shows from the press centre. esctoday.com toured the press centre today and you can see the first photos below. Rehearsals start tomorrow at 9am and fans can follow everything with esctoday.com
