Israeli broadcaster IBA made a request to EBU to perform at the second semi-final of  Eurovision 2014 and It has been aproved by EBU so It is already known that Israel will perform at Second semi-final.

On the other hand, Norway and Sweden will compete in different semi-finals, the decision was taken some months ago with the EBU’s intention to  get the same expectation in both semi-finals, Norway will compete at Second Semi final while Sweden will take part in the first one.

Slovenian participation is still undecided but, in case they are in, Slovenia would be in the first group of countries for the draw.
