How many countries will compete in 2025?

[GRE]

What a huge disappointment !
We were waiting so long, just to learn something that we already knew ?
I expected at least Monaco. Well, they became the new Turkey, each year there is a rumour for their comeback, but they never do.
I know, I know it's a huge success that we have 1 more country next year.
BUT, come on Ebu, why didn't you tell us sooner ?
After this, I strongly believe that I might never watch Eurovision again, I am very pissed off.

You never wanna watch Eurovision again because of a late announcement?? Wow, you must be a huuuge fan.

As a fan, I'm happy to see no country withdraw.

I'm happy to see Montenegro back (and they're sending a song I even like).

I'm happy that we got more countries taking part than this year...

But I'm also a bit disappointed.. after waiting for so long, I expected or wished for a little surprise.
I mean... all countries have already officially announced that they would be taking part like a month ago.... so why did it take so long for the EBU to announce them?

It's a pity that Romania didn't come back. TVR really trolled us by sending such a chanceless entry in 2023. I don't want this to be their swan song for now

Shame on Hungarian and Turkish broadcasters for continuing being homophonic.

Maybe they were in talks with that failed in the end??

Glad that Israel is in despite everything that happened.

One of the things I enjoy the most since 1991 that I watch Eurovision, is the participation list, I am very pleased and happy when new countries debut or some countries return. In other words, I enjoy when the Eurovision family is big, and I dream the day where there will be 46 countries (20 in each Semifinal).
So, you can understand how much upset I am right now.

I get your point but I still think you´re overreacting. The EBU can´t force countries to participate, if they don´t want too for whatever reason we need to accept that.

I know.
And I am not referring to countries like Russia, Belarus, Turkey, Hungary and Slovakia. They are far away atm.
But what about Monaco ? Each year they are about to return but we never see them. Plus they do have money. What about North Macedonia ? They said that they would think about it. What about Bulgaria ? Last year there was a delegation in Sweden. What about Romania ? Last year they were 50-50, I thought it was only a small break. What about Kosovo ? Until when should they wait to be eligible to participate ? What about Kazakhstan ? They loved Eurovision, they wanted to be part of Eurovision family but EBU don't let them.
And yes I know I overreact, I am a drama queen .
