Lithuania - due to financial troubles in LRT the National Broadcaster

Definately not returning:-

Belgrade's/Serbia's apathy towards the contest, and 2. The results (as always!) So let's look at them in turn.... 1. After the recent elections, it appears that Serbians are keen to join the EU and after many years of troubles, which I will not go into, I would have thought that hosting the Eurovision would have been an excellent way to show what they are capable of.

So here's to many more years of Eurovision being a total joke in the UK!
