This was Serbia's first participation in a Eurovision event as an independent nation. The contest was won by The Tolmachevy Twins from Russia with the song "Vesenniy Jazz".
Location
Bidding phase and host selection
TVR won the rights of hosting the contest over AVRO of the Netherlands (who hosted the next contest).[1] Croatia also expressed an interest in hosting this contest.[2]
Venue
Polyvalent Hall from Bucharest (Romanian: Sala Polivalentă din București) is a multi-purpose hall in Bucharest, Romania, located in the Tineretului Park. It is used for concerts, indoor sports such as tennis, gymnastics, dance, handball, volleyball, basketball, weightlifting, combat sports and professional wrestling. The hall was opened in 1974 but has since been renovated. It has a maximum seating capacity of 12,000 for concerts and 6,000 for handball.
Participation
Originally 16 countries had initially signed up for the contest but one unspecified country later dropped out.[3]
Broadcasting in Belgium
Radio télévision belge de la communauté française (RTBF) of the French-speaking Wallonia in Belgium left the contest this year after co-hosting the previous edition with Flemish broadcaster Vlaamse Radio- en Televisieomroep (VRT). They claimed that continuing with the contest was not in their interests financially.[4] The viewing figures for the 2005 contest for RTBF were also low. Belgium continued to be represented at the contest by VRT.
2007 Croatian withdrawal
Hrvatska radiotelevizija (HRT) of Croatia announced that they would withdraw from the 2007 edition and future contests, as otherwise they would have faced a fine from the EBU as they did not screen this year's event live and did not broadcast it on a nationally available network, instead airing it on satellite-only channel HRT Plus. Broadcasters previously had to screen the event live and on a channel available to the majority of the public however this rule was scrapped in 2007.[5] Croatia withdrew the following year and would not participate for seven years until they returned in 2014.
Withdrawn countries
The Scandinavian broadcasters; DR of Denmark, Norsk rikskringkasting (NRK) of Norway and Sveriges Television (SVT) of Sweden; decided to withdraw from the contest for various reasons, one being that the content put too much pressure on the participating children. Instead they staged a solely Scandinavian contest called MGP Nordic in Stockholm, as they did in 2002. However, Sweden did participate, which was quite unexpected since they placed 15th all earlier years, with commercial broadcaster TV4 supplying Sweden's entry. This meant that Sweden participated in both contests.
ITV, the United Kingdom broadcaster of the contest from 2003 up until and including 2005, withdrew from the contest, after they were originally given the rights to broadcast it when the BBC declined the offer. In 2003, they broadcast the contest on main channel ITV, relegating it to ITV2 for the next two years due to bad viewer ratings, before their complete withdrawal in 2006.[6][7] The United Kingdom would return to the contest in 2022 with the BBC replacing ITV as the county’s broadcaster.[8]
Monaco had stated an interest to take part in the contest, however did not take part in the contest.[9] Latvia also withdrew, mainly due to financial reasons. However they briefly returned to the contest in 2010 and 2011.
Serbia and Montenegro participated in the 2005 contest, but since then, Montenegro voted for independence. The EBU gave their national broadcaster, Radio televizija Crne Gore (RTCG), extra time to decide whether or not to participate, but they finally declined the invitation. It wasn't until 2014 that they would start participating in the Junior Eurovision.
