Which countries do you want to see at Junior Eurovision 2018?
There’s still time left for Bulgaria to change their minds about returning. I also want Albania, Australia, Italy, Malta, and Ukraine to show up, and for Slovenia to return now that they qualified for the grand final at the regular Eurovision. I think Cyprus and Macedonia will both from the Junior version withdraw for one year because of the bad results in Tbilisi and return in 2019. After all, Junior Eurovision 2018 is aiming for 18 competing countries. Here’s my prediction:
* Albania
* Armenia
* Belarus (of course!)
* Bulgaria (if they change their minds and decide to return)
* France
* Georgia
* Ireland
* Italy
* Macedonia
* Malta
* Netherlands
* Poland
* Portugal
* Russia
* Serbia
* Slovenia (they’ll of course have to get used to the current format)
* Ukraine
* Wales
