Eurovision

RTK is the television channel applying for EBU membership . RTK wishes to enter Kosovo for the Eurovision Song Contest 2009.[4][5][6] Kosovo would be making their Eurovision Song Contest debut in 2011 at best if Kosovo joins the EBU. However this is controversial because Russia and some other participating countries did not recognise the unilateral declaration of independence by Kosovo's Parliament, therefore they could reject Kosovo's EBU membership. However Kosovo is eligible to join as stated by the EBU.[7]

According to the Kosovar newspaper Koha Ditore, a future entry would be selected via a national final called Akordet e Kosovës, a former pop show that had been taken off the air some years ago.[8][9]
