Moldova confirms Eurovision participation in 2010

Moldova has confirmed that it will participate in the Eurovision song contest in 2010.

The country took 14th place last year, when Nelly Ciobanu sang "Hora din Moldova." A "hora" is a traditional Romanian dance. Variations of the dance are also present in places like Bulgaria.

Eurovision is a very important affair in Moldova and a lot of other countries, and it can often take on a political nature.

A Georgian song thought to criticize Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin was banned by Eurovision in 2009.

In addition, Azeri authorities interrogated at least one person in Baku after he voted for Armenia in the 2009 final.
