After withdrawing from the Eurovision Song Contest after 3 poor results from 1994 to 1998, Slovenská Televízia (STV) were reluctant to return to the contest due to budget problems in the broadcaster. However, after 11 years, Slovakia will return to the contest in Moscow.

Currently it is unknown how STV will conduct their selection process.
