After winning "only" silver in Men's Volleyball European Championships

Italy and Slovenia confirmed their participation in 2018

Both Egypt and Guyana haven't time for competing in previous contests. But I believe that maybe at least Turkey will have time now.

Maybe Australia, Estonia and Spain will return too

I still waiting for an day when @NatsutoFuyu will decided to compete in TISC, after ages.

Seconds will be decided about this who as first will enter with song as I already have selected song

Looks like we will be relegated to European/African Zone II

@bestmen wasn't first here, lol

Aaaand I missed to predict today semifinal between Spain and Slovenia

@Gianlu33 But since Italy comeback to the contest, most of your entries had good results, especially in 2015 and in this year. @bestmen Yes, it really happened, I saw this in TV, when I watched the final, it happened during interval act when Jamala sang her new song. @Werloc Yes, they thanked for everything, because their public broadcaster was shut down after Grand Final of this contest, but their new public broadcaster send application to EBU that they want join to this, but process of application is long and by this EBU and new Israeli television signed a temporary agreement that will allow them to participation in next year. But if Israel will not compete in next year it opens the doors of Middle East and African nations which are among EBU members that can compete in the contest, it's reason why I added Moroccan flag. Sole Moroccan entry was when Israel was missing by some reason. And we all know good that Arabic nations don't want compete in anything and anywhere when Israel is there. About Bulgaria, their public broadcaster have new general director which have to choosen if he will want see Bulgaria in the contest. It looks that once again Bosnia will not compete due to financial reasons...

Italy can't miss Eurovision And we still don't have official news about Russia, unlike you have an source with confirmation.

With just few days left to deadline we don't have any or at least official news about participation from following countries:

Croatia and United Kingdom confirmed their participation
