Active PBU Members

 * - on 10th June 2021 the Arianan Broadcasting Union has shared, that they will participate in 28th edition in Phytopia and will pick their song with their selection method called Arianafestivalen 2.
 * Kucura.png Kucura - withdrawal from PSC: Official statement is that RTK announced their withdrawal from the Plastics Song Contest citing dissatisfaction with the rules of the competition and everything else that has happened in the last 2-3 months, controversy and criticism. Although the competition tries to stay away from politics but in Kucuras's case this seems to be a little bit more difficult. As the Government does have a say in whether or not a participation would be possible. It has been reported that Prime Minister of Kucura met with members of RTK, with the outcome being less than what people desired. Kucura has no intention of returning again to this competition.
 * Rusrep.jpg Rusenlandian Republic - on 13 May 2021 the Rusenlandian Broadcaster had selected Francesco Gabbani to represent the country in the 28th edition of the contest but RPTV the Rusenlandian Public TeleVision has not yet confirmed participation in the next edition of the contest. Predicted is that they will participate because Melodi Grand Prix Rusenlandia 2 is already running so participating is likely to be. On the 10th of June RPTV announced they will participate in the 28th edition of the contest.
