MRT, the North Macedonian broadcaster, have announced their reasons behind the non-participation of the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest, in Malmö.

A spokesperson for MRT, gave the following statement:

“Macedonian Radio Television informs the public about its decision not to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest next year, which will be held in Malmö, Sweden.

Such a decision is in the best interest of the citizens, taking into account that next year, the Public Service will focus with all its capacities on celebrating the great jubilee, 80 years of Macedonian Radio and 60 years of Macedonian Television. The activities to mark the great jubilee will take place throughout the year 2024.

MRT will broadcast the event, the two semi-final evenings and the grand final on its services.”
