Tallinn - Despite the rumors, Estonian broadcaster ETV confirmed that Estonia won't be taking part in 2016. The reason is not given, but this non-participation was clear today! Estonia have never taken part since 2003 and this non-participation will continue in the near future. Since the Junior Eurovision in Bulgaria this year, it was confirmed that the Baltics and France was interested in participating, but today Estonia had made it clear that they are not interested at all, so Latvia and Lithuania are the only interested from the Baltics plus France.
Vienna - Austrian broadcaster ORF confirmed now that "We don´t participate in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest". This news has been confirmed almost since the beginning of the contest. You can see the post where they confirmed their non-participation here. Bern - Swiss-Italian broadcaster RSI did confirm yesterday that "For now we only attend the classic Eurovision Song Contest". RSI was responsible for the Swiss participation at the Junior Eurovision in Lillehammer, Norway (2004) when they were represented by Demis Mirarchi and his song Birichino (Cheeky). Hope is not lost, as SRF and RTS has been contacted for such a participation. Here is the live performance of Switzerland's only entry at Junior Eurovision: |
