Last night, two countries casted their backup jury votes to Digame, the company that is responsible for the televoting procedure of the Eurovision Song Contest. Svante Stockselius, supervisor of the Eurovision Song Contest for the European Broadcasting Union, said that it's unknown which two countries had to rely on their jury.

The Montenegrin broadcaster didn't broadcast the semifinal last night for unknown reasons. Because the Serbian amount of televotes was high enough to count, the Serbian televoters were responsible for giving the points on behalf of Serbia & Montenegro.

In Armenia, which took part for the first time, about 80,000 votes came in, even though the show was aired between 0:00 and 2:30 local time.
