Belarus first submitted the song "Nauchu Tebya" performed by the artist Galasy ZMesta for this year's edition of the Eurovision song contest in Rotterdam.

But the entry was disqualified by The European Broadcasting Union because it was considered to violate the rules of the competition as it was too political.

Belarus submitted a new entry to the competition with the same artist, but as it is still considered to be in breach of the rules, it has now been disqualified.

The EBU writes in a press release on its website that it has called on the state television company BTRC, which is responsible for the country's competitors, to take the necessary measures.

Karin Karlsbro (L) welcomes the announcement

"As the BTRC has failed to submit a qualifying entry within the extended deadline, Belarus will not compete in the 65th Eurovision song contest," the EBU wrote in a press release.

EU parliamentarian Karin Karlsbro (L) is positive about the message because she believes that Belarus's authoritarian government uses culture and sport to make politics.

"It is of course welcome that Belarus is not allowed to compete with propaganda in this year's Eurovision.

But regardless of which song had been sent from Belarus, it had been hand-picked by Lukashenko and used as propaganda for the regime, "she wrote in a press release on the Liberals' website.
