They can,t sen$ the same S&op-e Fest authors o%er an$ o%er a'ain cause let,s face it .imitro% an$ company -ust aren,t 'oo$ enou'h for success at the European mar&et. n$ my $efinition of success is not !ualifyin' as the /0 th country an$ only $epen$in' on nei'h)ours %otes# )ut rather top 1 an$ European-charts material. They nee$ to contemplate ta&in' in forei'n composers an$ authors# li&e most other countries $o. n$ if they insist with Mace$onians# they ha%e to choose someone who is connecte$ to the international music scene.
