buddy, i think you forget that you ARE in the EU , you're just not in the EMU ( european monetary union ), and you also forget that you're economy would not be as developed as it is ,if you didn't have free trade with the rest of the EU ( the structure of this sentence seems a bit off...ah well, you know what i mean )
back to eurovision, i must confess, i avoided it almost successfully, but i accidentally turned it on while norway was on , and was traumatized thoroughly...i don't even know how croatia did...and it is very political these days...but most neighbors vote for themselves because they simply relate to their songs more ( for example the nordic countries always vote for themselves, and so do the ex-yugoslav countries, mainly because we understand the language...i personally wouldn't vote like that, but then again, i wouldn't vote at all, because 99 percent of the songs are pure sh.it, composed according to a pattern that will supposedly guarantee the victory..)
