possible reasons for not giving Kosovo status as a country

[fluffyarmadillo]

Serbia and Kosovo are a bad enough footballing nation as it is. Can you image how bad they would be if you actually split them up? ;P

Also, the Eurovision Song Contest is already too long as it is?

That's why only some of the eurovision countries are automatically admitted to the main event now and the others have to compete for places in the qualifier.

Even so is be a longer event to run and hence more expensive and generally crippling to the country who wins it. I believe that was the base for the Father Ted joke.
