On 24 May 2016, the Slovenian broadcaster RTVSLO announced that they would withdraw from the contest for the first time since their debut in the 2014 edition of the contest. The broadcaster explained that the decision was made based on changes to the contest rules by the EBU, although not specifying which rule changes influenced their decision to withdraw from the competition.[3] In May 2019, the broadcaster revealed that their reason for withdrawal was the cost of participation.[4]
