The Kremlin made no decision on boycott of the international music festival “Eurovision-2017”. This was stated press Secretary of Russian President Dmitry Peskov. His words RIA Novosti reported.
“It is not clear whether it is to boycott. Of course, given the venue of this contest and possible problems, and security, unfriendly attitude, and so forth a specific reason for concern is obvious. But, I repeat, any decisions that are taken”, — said Peskov.
State Duma Deputy from the party “United Russia” Vitaly Milonov asked the head of the First channel Konstantin Ernst not to send Russian participants of “Eurovision” and to cancel the broadcast of music shows. In his address, the MP called the contest “Rahoveanu”. The proposal of the Deputy was supported by the singer Joseph Kobzon, producer Joseph Prigogine and Philip.
The semi-finals of “Eurovision” will take place in Kiev on may 9 and may 11. The final competition will be held on 13 may 2017.
