Re: POLAND 2014
What this has to do? :?
But to make you happy,yes Greece is one of the most poor countries in European Union.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you (or Greece and Greeks in general), I just thought your comment was slightly ignorant and not very true. You have to look into many factors.
I mean Ukraine and Serbia hosted ESC, and they're both much poorer than Poland is
In fact if you're just blindly looking at GDP/cap numbers (and don't take into consideration anything else or how ESC is actually paid for), then Poland is richer than the following ESC countries (as of 2012 statistics): Hungary, Latvia (former ESC host), Croatia, Russia (former ESC host), Belarus, Turkey (former ESC host), Bulgaria, Romania, Montenegro, Serbia (former ESC host), Azerbaijan (former ESC host), Albania, Ukraine (former ESC host), Armenia, Georgia, Moldova.
But like you know, there are many factors to add into this. Firstly, it's the connected broadcaster that is responsible for the hosting and how they finance this can be made in different ways. Also, as I pointed out, Poland happens to be one of Europe's most stable economies and didn't really shrink during the economical crisis like most of the other countries were (and are still doing).
