TVR to decide Eurovision 2024 participation soon
Late last year, Romania were not on the participation list for Eurovision 2024, it was later revealed as we reported that the EBU had granted TVR an extension to determine whether or not they could participate. Dan Turturică has revealed that that extension runs out at the end of January. Dan said the following to FANATIK on the situation.
“We will have a board meeting on January 25. We have a reprieve from the European Broadcasting Union to give a final answer until the end of this month. We will have the board meeting, as this is not a decision for me to make alone.
