Gipsy.cz to represent Czech Republic at Eurovision

Czech Television has chosen the Romany pop group Gipsy.cz to represent the Czech Republic in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. Czech TV dispensed with the idea of a national song contest and itself nominated Gipsy.cz for the semi-finals of the Eurovision, which is being held in Moscow in May. Viewers will be able to vote on what song Gipsy.cz performs.

Since the Czech Republic began taking part in Eurovision in 2007 neither of the country’s two entrants – rock band Kabát and pop singer Tereza Kerndlová – made it past the semi-final stage.
