It's fair to say the sudden exit of Romania in the Eurovision Song Contest this year, shocked many fans and press. Therefore ESCKAZ have teamed up with Lidia Isac from Moldova to pay tribute to Romania's 2016 participant Ovidiu Anton by singing a version of his song, A moment of Silence, in the press centre.
The event, which is open for all the press attending, will be streamed live by colleague sites WiwiBloggs and EscUnited. Other websites are also invited to join Lidia on one of the two stages, in the press centre and film or record/stream the event.
The Tribute to Romania will be taking place after the Meet & Greet of Slovenia, approximately around 12.40 local time, the original time, scheduled at the time Romania's press conference was due.
We want to stress that this is not a political statement we are trying to make, just a fitting tribute to the fans and artist.
