Two countries have pulled out of Eurovision which is due to be held in Liverpool next year.
North Macedonia and Montenegro will no longer compete in the infamous song contest. Both countries have put the decision down to the costs for entering the competition being too high, The Mirror Online reports.
A spokesperson for RTCG, Montenegro's public broadcaster said: "In addition to the significant costs of registration fees, as well as the cost of staying in Great Britain – we also faced a lack of interest from sponsors, so we decided to direct existing resources to the financing of current and planned national projects."
