HRT have confirmed that Croatia will NOT be participating in next years Eurovision Song Contest as the country is really struggling financially...This blogger is always sad when a country decides to withdraw although I do understand this decision - times are hard and Croatia have more important things to deal with. However all is not lost, the broadcaster did state that they only plan on taking one year out hence hoping to return for 2015 but that's a long way off yet! This is what the broadcaster stated in a press release...
“HRT, as a national broadcaster, needs to plan funds very carefully, and due to the financial crisis as well as public critics regarding the participation costs. Even though many viewers will be disappointed with the decision, HRT decided to take a year break as the main goal is always to find a great performer with a song that will reach a high position, and due to the series of bad results in the past couple of years. “It also doesn't help that Croatia haven't qualified in four years... I'll miss them!!!
