And this year it was Croatia for the first time! (Also Bulgaria twice is actually pretty amazing wow)

2023: 🇺🇦Liverpool

[@Quapsel999]

​@@Devstvennik2005 Yeah, Liverpool is located in Ukraine

Yes, and the last one in the EU doesn't even have the € as a currency. That's pretty sad, I think it's easier for more people from more different countries to go to Eurovision, if it's held in a member state which is also part of the euro zone.

Y tho without 2024?

[@lovefromcyprus453]

So if there was an "EU national selection" for EU countries every year, France would have won it and represent the EU at Eurovision most of the times!

[@michael_eng]

2024 Croatia ❤

[@in_wino_veritas]

Croatia would have won in 2024
