The OGAE Luxmbourg top 10 is as follows:

With six points from Luxembourg, the votes for Latvia have doubled. The Netherlands have achieved their second set of votes and the highest one so far, four points. Belarus-long time leaders -surprisingly did not receive any points at all.For the first time, Cyprus got the 'douze points' which move them up to a fifth position.
