KYIV. March 15 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Heads of delegation from the countries participating in the 2017 Eurovision song contest have met in Kyiv, and Ukraine has received good feedback.
“All the issues that appeared during seven or eight months have been resolved, and I’m proud to say that we’re completely ready to hold the contest in May,” Eurovision executive supervisor Jon Ola Sand said at a press conference in Kyiv on Tuesday.
Delegates familiarized themselves with logistics, the agenda of special events and how the process of performances will be organized and security of participants and guests will be arranged.
Each participating country has a Head of Delegation who is the team leader and the contact point for the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).
A meeting of the heads of delegation traditionally takes place in March and allows teams to better prepare for participation in the song contest. Delegations consist of a performer, back-up singers, the authors of songs, dancers or other performers, the head of the press service and other team members. A delegation is led by the team leader who is a contact person for organizers of the contest and the EBU.
