What about the non-coloured part of Russia? Is the rest of Russia in the EBU because it is still in the same country?
If you think they are outdated then you should complain to Ebu,I'd say those maps are a bit outdated considering all the Caucasus states are now EBU members aswell, and is knocking on the door...
Because of technical developments, I'd say the EBU area is actually larger these days than what this map is showing.
If you think they are outdated then you should complain to Ebu,
because i have taken them from the official website

Actually, Kazakhstan is currently negotiating entrance into EBU, I don't think they'll have to enter CoE first.
Actually, I think that map is indeed not really updated, it's been looking like that for years now, even with technical improvements since it was first released.
But, I'm not saying it's inaccurate either, but I mean Iraq for instance is there, even if it's further south and east of Georgia for instance...
For Kazakhstan to enter the EBU without being a member of the CoE, the EBU would have to change its admission rules, which of course they can do.
Those maps are very accurate, geographical limits of the broadcasting area are fixed and cannot be unilaterally changed. As the ST61 agreement states
"European Broadcasting Area: is bounded on the west by the western boundary of Region 1, on the east by the meridian 40° East of Greenwich and on the south by the parallel 30° North so as to include the northern part of Saudi Arabia and that part of those countries bordering the Mediterranean within these limits. In addition, Iraq, Jordan and that part of the territory of Syrian Arab Republic, Turkey and Ukraine lying outside the above limits are included in the European Broadcasting Area."
Broadcasters operating within those boundries can become full EBU members thus Iraqi or Saudi Arabian broadcasters currently have bigger chances of joining than Kazakhstani TV.
How can it be a flop when you reach the final?!
Because they couldn`t afford it. They had soccer championship a few years ago.I don't think that is going to return. But why not ?
I read in the spanish wiki that they can pull out.
and not even talking about their 7 victories.They just need to send good songs and not weak entries like this years... they are able to win it, they just need to want it to do so
But 2013 wasn't a weak entry though
well sorry but I didn't like it and it was quite a nonsense song to me
I even prefer "Irelande Douze Pointe" to this year's irish song
