In reply on the news article we published yesterday, Eurovision coordiniator Christine Marchal replied that journalists from Belarus are welcome.

Yesterday, the news reached us that the head of accreditation of the Belarussian broadcasting company refused to let journalists cover the Eurovision Song Contest from Estonia.

Eurovision coordinator Christine Marchal reminded BTRC (Belarussian public broadcaster) that it's their responsibility to accredit Belarussian journalists, and that it is of course an EBU wish to have the contest covered by journalists from as much countries as possible.
