“Until we are convinced that structural changes have been made so that the artists and their message will be in focus again, we will keep it open whether we participate in the Eurovision Song Contest or not,” writes Avrotros in a statement.
Joost Klein was stopped by the EBU from competing in the final after he allegedly threatened a female TV photographer, a decision the Dutch broadcaster called “disproportionately harsh”.
The incident is still being investigated by the police and on Wednesday there was information that an independent expert will review this year’s Eurovision final in Malmö.
