The Junior Eurovision participants list is rapidly getting longer! Today, MKRTV confirmed that (F.Y.R.) Macedonia will be taking part in the 2017 Junior Eurovision Song Contest. The Macedonian broadcaster confirmed this in a statement to our friends at Eurovoix.com. In addition, MKRTV has yet to disclose details as to how they will select their entry for Tbilisi. Meanwhile, RÚV has confirmed Iceland does not have any plans to debut in 2017.
One of Junior Eurovision’s most dedicated countries
Macedonia is one of Junior Eurovision’s most dedicated countries, who will have 13 participations to their name after this year’s contest. Indeed, only Belarus and The Netherlands have more. The Balkan nation made their debut in the first Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2003. Furthermore, they have two top 5 finishes in their name. Rosica Kulakova & Dimitar Stojmenovski finished 5th in 2007 and Bobi Andonov did the same a year later.
