Romania in the Eurovision Song Contest

Selecting Romania's 2021 Eurovision song is starting today, with singer Roxen expected to record several songs in the days ahead. Demo versions of the acts will be sent to a jury that chooses the winning song, according to a press statement released by the TVR national public television corporation.

Romanian Prime Minister Dacian Ciolos said on Monday that he was looking for ways to prevent his country's exclusion from Eurovision 2016 after the public broadcaster, TVR, announced that it owed the European Broadcasting Union , EBU, which runs the annual contest, over 10 million euros.

"We will have a discussion and we'll find a solution," Ciolos said.

Calin Goia, the lead singer of Voltaj band which is to represent Romania to Eurovision 2015 told a press conference on Sunday night that the goal of his band is to win the European contest, the participation in this event being an advantage for the message of their song "De la capat / Over Again".

The Voltaj band will represent Romania in the 2015 Eurovision contest with the song 'De la capat' (Over Again), after winning the national selection on Sunday night in Craiova (west of Bucharest).
