And in the grand finale- none of the participants from the Balkans (Serbia, Montenegro, Croatian Slovenia) entered the final. Macedonia did not participate for the third year in a row.

For Italian values ​​like « Espresso and Machiatho » song Estonia’s representative Tommy Cash, with a cute chorus « Mi Amore, Mi Amore, Espresso, Macchiato, Macchiato, Por Favore », which is more than certain, now, after singing the world’s most prominent, It will continue to be singing from this « Eurovision ».
