Eurovision Song Contest Belgrade 2008 Serbia

Everything you'd expect from a Eurocity

Eurovision 2008: Belgrade for the fans

Day three of rehearsals and the press centre is starting to get busy. More and more fans and journalists are arriving in Belgrade for next weekend's Eurovision Song Contest.

The Euroclub is open and in full swing. With capacity for over 3000 visitors, and a pyramid feel inside, and the Eurocafe, dubbed the 'Eurovision living room' for fans across the river in the city centre, there's plenty to keep everyone occupied.

The first official party annoucements are coming thick and fast, one of them will be the Azerbaijani effort at the fortress overlooking the two rivers that meet in Belgrade. They are enlisting Maria Serifovic, Dana International, Lordi and others for their party on Friday night.

Our advise remains that despite a great security presence, and everyone feeling safe and secure, accredited fans and journalists should remove their accreditation badges when leaving the press centre and arena, and when travelling in the city centre.

The stage continues to dazzle, and the usual array of props from all over Europe are keeping everyone guessing as to who will have the most impressive display props of the year. Candidates are dima's slide-up-the-side ladder, Ani's backlit walkin-and-over wardrobe and Kalimoira's love-ly book.

- Scottish Eurovision Fan

That would be a shame :(

The best way to do it would be to draw the country out of the envelope, and then draw the position from a pot! Simple, and it would add a bit more excitement ;) :D :L

I hear rumours saying that the qualifiers and their running order in the final will not be announced to the public at the end of the semi final shows like before, but instead will be revealed in the press conferences after the shows. I am really disappointed in this. :-(
