Slovakia returns to the Eurovision!

-
Good news! Coming back after 11 years, Slovakian public broadcaster STV has announced that it will bring Slovakia back to the Eurovision Song Contest in Moscow next year.

For several years now, Slovakia was reluctant to join the Eurovision Song Contest again due to their budget problems according to popular site esctoday.com. It seems the broadcaster is now able to enter for 2009.

Slovakia took part for the first time in Dublin 1994 when Tublatanka finished 19th, two years later Marcel Palonder spawned 18th place. The last Slovak entry could be heard in 1998 scoring only 8 points, what led Katarína Hasprová to end 21st, a song that did not deserve that result.
