Czechia in 2023 really had a part of the song in Czech, but not the part you put in this video. This part ''Sestro krasyva...'' (the chorus) is in Ukrainian. Czech language was from the very beginning of the song.

The Konstra and Vesna outro is everything

Fun fact: The song "Duje" was performed in the Gheg variety of the Albanian language, the mother tongue of Kosovo, where Albina and the Kelmendi family come from. The majority variety of Albanian is Tosk (the "official Albanian language"), and it was presented for the last time in 2022, with "Sekret" (along with English and Spanish)...

In the European part of the Netherlands there are two official languages; Dutch & Frisian. If you count the whole Kingdom of the Netherlands, there are more: Dutch, Frisian, Papiamento & English. There's also Dutch Sign Language.(NGT) The Netherlands should, according to the EU, do more for some minority languages like Lower-Saxon, Limburgish & Sinti-Romanes.(romani) Unfortunately we have only sent songs in Dutch & English. I loved that we sent one with some Sranantongo, even with the horrid backlash that it brought because apparently people cannot listen to the lyrics... But i really want us to send a song in Papiamento & one in Frysk.
