15 countries will take part in the 2006 Junior Eurovision Song Contest, which wil take place in Bucharest, Romania. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) announced that. The United Kingdom pulls out, France and Germany do not take part again. This leaves Spain as the only 'Big4' country to take part.
Ukraine and Portugal take part for the first time. As announced earlier, the Nordic countries will not take part, with the exception of Sweden where TV4 will take over the competition, and will focuss on the pan-Nordic Junior Grand Prix.

Absolutely it's a BIIIIG pity that we won't see UK...
It was one of the best countries..
CORY TO EUROVISION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!!!
Wow!! only 15 country's?? And i agree with you Pacha,, UK was one of the best country's,,
Isabella
well, actually, i'm not that upset that the uk pulls out, i mean, cory and tom were good, but they seemed to put less and less effort into the national finals....15 is good i think, just to bad norway and danmark don't participate. i will miss them more than the uk.
cool kid
oh no latvia pulled out too
and if you uk pulled out, they'll never show it here actually there won't be an english-speaking countries at all
well they are lucky to get 15, if 3 countries pulled out
Caroline
Malta is a bit English speaking! 15 yes I know that 20 was only a dream but some weeks ago I didn`t think it should be any final at all. So I am happy! Latvia pull out?? But they had started?? I don`t think it is that bad about the UK it was an ok country but not that important. I can`t wait to December and welcome to Portugal and Ukraine!!
Isabella
I believe latvia never had a lot of participants, didn't they only have 27 entries or so last year? maybe there's just nothing good
cool kid
they were going to announce the finalists on monday
Caroline
They had 44 last year. Maybe they missed them on the list?
cool kid
No, LTV took the pages off their website

15...i'm happy with that..don't really care which countries exactly participate aslong as there are good songs...
Caroline
Yeah agree but if Spain, Netherland and Belgium poll out I don`t think I will watch it because then it is Junior East Song Contest and not Eurovision.
Music Ranger
me either

haha, that's true.
there are 7 countries from East and 5 from South Europe; only two from the West and one from the North this time.
Isabella
7 countries? you counted croatia, serbia and macedonia as east european too? they are more 'balkan' countries in my opinion
belarus, russia, ukraine and maybe romania are east european, but latvia was too, so it stays the same
Isabella
anyway, i won't be interested either if spain and belgium withdraw

WWOOOWWWW! I was about to post that! I don't care very much about the UK pulling out too. I feel bad about the Nordic countries and France.
Caroline
France didn`t participate in 2005 either but I would LOOVE to see them once more
