@20:39 This will be the last video from today's rehearsals at B&W Hallerne. The main technical effect used during the Romanian act is a projection of Paula Seling on one of the backdrops, which then dissolves while she enters the stage from the other side.

@20:27 "I'm feeling very good. It's a nice country, and it's not so big, just like Slovenia. So we can learn a lot from you, for example that 50% of the politicians are women", Tinkara opened the press conference.
