Other countries

 * Armenia - Due to the last place that the country took in the first edition, the Armenian broadcaster Armenia 1 announced that they will not participate in this edition.
 * Belgium - There have been problems about a possible JESC participation since the 3 Belgian EBU members have to face difficulties. Ketnet, the kids channel, haven't interest for participating in JESC for now. RTBF will held a big festival for musicians this time while VRT have very low budget. So, for now there will be not a Belgian participation.
 * Germany - Last night, the World Cup held the same time with JESC and the ratings went to football due to the winning of the country so the ratings were very low leading to the country's withdrawal from this edition.
 * Hungary - Hungary will not participate in this edition due to low budget.
 * Switzerland - The Swiss-Italian broadcaster announced that they will not debut in JESC ever due to lack of interest. The Swiss-French broadcaster said that they will not enter in 2nd edition but on 3rd one. But still, Swiss-German broadcaster will be on Aalborg.
 * Ireland - Irish broadcaster RTE confirmed to Eurovoix that they won't debut in the second edition despite saying before first edition that they have plans for the contest. But, the Irish language broadcaster TG4 broadcasted the event live.
