There would be two semi-finals on the 23th and 24th of February and the grand final that is going to take place on 2 March. The heats are scheduled to be held on 2, 9 and 16 February.
As it has been claimed MTV has received a total of 240 songs, the broadcaster will now shortlist them to 30. A total of 30 entries/acts will fight for the golden ticket to Malmö. 10 songs will compete in each semi-final. The special jury will shortlist the songs from 10 to 4 in the grand final and the public will decide the winner via televoting.

The jury is being consisted of the following persons:-

As it concerns the language in which the songs in the national final will be sung that would be Hungarian, but the artists can attach an English version as well.
The broadcasters MTVA and MTV would make the final decision on what language the Hungarian entry will be sung in Malmö. The participants also have to assure, that they will be available to take part fully in the Eurovision project and have no other commitments. MTVA and MTV also reserve the right to change the artist, the title of the song, the language and even the name of the artist or the band up until 5 days before the Eurovision Song Contest submission deadline.

Kosovo application for EBU not approved

Kosovo will not be joining EBU neither take part in the Eurovision Song Contest for now. Kosovo broadcasting station RTK requested to join EBU in order to be able to take part in the Eurovision Song Contest, since they find the competition “key to build up Kosovo international status”.

The rejection was justified since Kosovo does not belong to the International Telecommunication Union, the specialized agency of the United Nations which is responsible for information and communication technologies, which membership is required to be a member of the EBU.

Since Kosovo has been not recognized by the UN cannot be part of the ITU
