### **Running order**

Initially it was intended to be determined also part of the concert (the first or second) in which would take part the country, but this idea was not support by audience. Therefore, with the help of the French alphabet (but only 29 letters), the country's order number has been determined. Under each letter was hiding some number.

12-18 May each curator must choose a letter. May 19, participants of the first semifinal knew their numbers, and on May 20, respectively members of the second semi-final.
