If you give a general plan of the whole scene, the actors are so small that they can not see. This is already a problem. So the next phase of our competition - not the size of the stage, but increase the warmth, hospitality and a new level of entertainment for the guests of the competition. Perhaps more chamber size events. We come to the end of megalomania. We scale the cost of competition is another side. - There are small countries that can not afford such expenses, such as Macedonia. And there are countries such as the UK, where the cost of competition, the cost for 1 day BBC radio. 5 million EBU lists organizer of the competition for the right to broadcast - cost structure outlined by Jean-Paul Philippe. We invite governments usually add the same amount. And 10 million is already possible to make quality TV. So the show is open to all. We must make sure to keep that Albania or Macedonia Euro vision without stress. So the next phase of our motto - quality, not quantity.
