Press-conference of EBU and Channel One

was the most waisted 1.5 hours of this week. We've only got one new thing and these are preliminary dates of 2010 contest - 18-20-22nd of May. A lot of talks whether Philip Kirkorov is suitable for the role of chairman of Russian jury (being friend of Sakis Rovas and also commentator this year)- but organizers do not see this as a problem. There was deserved critics from press towards hostess Natalia Vodyanova, and organizers admitted that she was not perfect but promised better result from her tomorrow. Dima Bilan and Lys Assia have attended the event.
