Well, the decision has to be taken next week.
ESCKAZ has been trying to investigate, and general mood in Minsk is that Belarus is preparing last Junior Eurovision ever.

In the latest interview executive producer of the Minsk show has mentioned Minsk, Moscow and Yerevan as possible candidates to host. However, speaking today with head of Armenian delegation, we've learnt that Armenian option is not likely at all, due to the costs of show organization.

However, speaking yesterday with Georgia, we've surprisingly learnt, that they have submitted their interest to host the 2011 show to EBU. However, they have received response that first of all, it should be decided whether the show will continue in general (as there seem to be many delegations not interested to continue), and there are several other possible venues discussed.

Moscow is certainly one of them and we will address this question to Russian team, when it will be available for the interview.

Also, delegation of Ukraine has kindly asked to mention that earlier published by website of the First National Channel, does not express the official opinion of the channel, and was published due to technical difficulty, being material of Analitics website. Delegation has expressed hope that the contest will continue in the future years, and as representatives of NTU are members of reference group of the contest, they will support this idea.
