I'm so confused, when is the official deadline?
I think the latest a country can withdraw (or apply in 2014 for this occasion) is the 15th. After that any withdrawals come with a penalty.
Bulgarian national broadcaster just posted on Facebook a statement regarding the new extension of the EBU deadline to participate in the 59th Eurovision Song Contest.
“Despite the new extension of deadline, the Bulgarian national broadcaster will stick to its original decision to withdraw from Eurovision Song Contest just for this year though”.
According the council of electronic media in Bulgaria (CEM) BNT has sent them a list with international events in 2014 with big public importance, which will be broadcasted by the broadcaster. Eurovision Song Contest is part of that list.
Well, I guess it's a nice treat for the Bulgarian ESC fans but still will be without Bulgaria in the actual contest
Bulgaria will take part in the new EBU's project Europe Sings. The participation is covered by both Bulgarian member broadcasters - BNT and BNR.
