The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has unveiled new rules for the Eurovision Song Contest.
According to Ukrinform, the changes stipulate that the winning country will lose the right to host the contest if an armed conflict is ongoing in its region or if there is another threat to security and stability.
The EBU may initiate an independent security assessment of the region. Following this, the organization, together with an advisory group, will decide whether the winning country can host the contest. If not, the EBU will find an alternative broadcaster to organize the event.
The new rules were developed based on feedback from participants in last year’s contest in Vienna and are intended to provide clarity for all stakeholders, including artists and organizers.
