This year's Eurovision Song Contest stars are entirely focussed on their international promotion tours. After Ruslana and Helena Paparizou had obvious success after promotion trips, taking part in the Eurovision Song Contest got a new dimension.
While a large part of this year's participants is not in his or her home country anymore, it can be questionned if these tours still bring the result the contestants are hoping for. Nevertheless, esctoday.com is following them all over Europe!

Friday, they passed the border to Ukraine. “Some were already waiting for 35 hours to pass the border. We walked to the border, explained we are musicians and that we have a television show to appear in and they let us pass. After customs agents searching the bus for three hours, they wanted us to pay to pass. They asked for five euros and we also performed a song for them”, the Treble girls explained in a Dutch newspaper.
