Bosnia-Herzegovina – It appears that national broadcaster BHRT has confirmed on their Twitter the sad news that Bosnia-Herzegovina will not be taking part in Eurovision Song Contest 2013. Despite receiving offers from other TV companies, and acts who were prepared to fund their own participation, it appears BHRT have taken the final decision to withdraw this year. They still intend to broadcast the show in their country.
Bosnia-Herzegovina: Withdrawal Despite Offers

If they had offers, I don’t get all this persistence in withdrawing. Anyway, they definately will be missed.
Once again, thank you for the articles, hulluna
WHY?? Let other chanels fund it
B&H is the only country that didn’t send a crap as much as I watch ESC ( even 2008′s entry was quite good for JESC LOL 
)! Comeback please!
BiH 2008 was a very good entry for what it was and definately for ESC, not JESC imho
Damn
I guess they don’t want to lose control. It’s kinda, “if we’re not doing it… no-one is.”
I have the same impression.This is sad because they could be there.They will be missed.
They have offers and they refuse them ? So the problem is not financial….
maybe solidarity with Turkey
Of course it isn’t, in B&H not only Muslims live, but Serbs and Croats, and in BHRT work all of them, it’s national channel!
I was jocking
) Since some withdrawals and announcements sound like big jocks for me 
Sad news
oh my God!! Eurovision 2013 will be different.. I have been off from esc related stuff due to many things happening in my life.. ok I give it a try and follow all what I have been missing
Hello sweet Roselil
Hi Oxi mou, long time no see.. everything ok? I am trying to read and get an idea what have been decided in my absence:)
Long time indeed! Doing ok, I guess, thank you; hope you are doing fine too
It seems that things won’t be that enthusiastic this esc season, mostly due to many withdrawals
I am doing fine thanks, just passed my exam today and finally got time to have look back here and comment.. so 2013 will be like that, just I hope it will change in 2014.. I guess i will follow when all the countries choose their hopefuls otherwise it will be stressfull for me
Congratulations on your exam, dear!!!
thanks dear
Hi, Roselil.
hello dear Shevek.. as I read here Portugal wont not join ESC in 2013 either.. so sad about this news.
looking for 2014 for being a full house
RTP will not join the party in 2013 and I am not sure for how long will this decision be in place. ESC is regarded as a bit of a joke by many here and the austerity is here to stay.
Hopefully not long, I will be sad not the see more colours in the esc family.. each country should bring a bit of their colour to the contest.. not the winner like 2012, which is nothing than disco tune
…… =(
It’s TRULY a pity since they had the offers…gosh that’s bad luck..By the time a country provides a really good entry for the first time they withdraw..I do hope they are back in 2014.
Very sad news ! BiH equals good taste in eurovision ( since 2006 , 2010 excluded despite being flawless live )
:’(
Perhaps their offers were from artists they deemed not good enough. Since they’ve been sending such good entries lately, maybe they didn’t want to enter with crap, lol.
Yes, they had offers from Hayat TV which has turbo folk every day in programe!
Nothing to add really. The most classy ESC country of all (well, together with Serbia) won’t be present in Malmö. Please come back in 2014!
Sad news.
:’( Hope to see you next year
That means we only have to wait for Greece’s (hopefully) upcoming confirmation.
I wonder if the EBU is in panic mode now…
it seems that, Eurovision Song Contest 2013 will be the wors ESC ever
( i miss ESC 2012 Baku…………..
As being one of my favorite ESC countries,their withdrawal saddens me a lot more than ours
I don’t get it. Why did they refuse the offer when they had a chance? Suspicious…
They can do it like Greece did: Have national Eurovision in a supermarket:)
