The “postcards” were 40-second video introductions shown on television whilst the stage is being prepared for the next entry. Filmed between February and April 2023 and directed by Tom Cook, with Carlo Massarella and Jane McGoldrick serving as executive producers, the postcards were based on the “United by Music” theme of the contest. Making use of 360° drone technology, each postcard began in a selected location in Ukraine, then one in the United Kingdom, before moving to the artist’s country of origin, where the artist took part in an activity of their choice. The three locations appearing in each postcard were connected by a singular theme.WEB, Blazewicz, Maciej, 29 April 2023, Eurowizja 2023: Szwecja wygrywa finaÅ‚ plebiscytu “Nasz Faworyt“!

Broadcasts
All participating broadcasters may choose to have on-site or remote commentators providing insight and voting information to their local audience. While they must broadcast at least the semi-final they are voting in and the final, most broadcasters air all three shows with different programming plans. In addition, some non-participating broadcasters air the contest. The European Broadcasting Union also provided international live streams with no commentary of both semi-finals and the final through their official

[...] Dakle veze su pukle gotovo svima. Nije to bio sluÄaj samo ka Srbiji. Ja sam konstantno bila u komunikaciji telefonom i sa mojim kolegom odnosno jako dobrim prijateljem DuÅ¡kom Ćurlićem iz Hrvatske koji me je pitao ‘Draga Å¡ta se deÅ¡ava’, ja kažem ‘Ja ne znam Å¡ta se deÅ¡ava’ [...] Ja sam dobila signal iz Beograda ‘Nemoj se truditi, nisi u programu’. Oni su Äuli preko moje linije Äuli na primer [moje] kolege iz Italije, GrÄke i ne znam koga joÅ¡ i tako su se meÅ¡ali signali [...] Trajalo je nekih petnaestak minuta, YouTube,
DuÅ¡ka VuÄinić-LuÄić, DuÅ¡ka VuÄinić, I have to ask you what happened on that first semi-final night? [...] So almost everyone’s connections broke. This was not the case only for Serbia. I was constantly in communication on the phone with my colleague, that is, my very good friend, Dusko Ćurlić from Croatia, who asked me ‘Darling, what’s going on’, I said ‘I don’t know what’s going on’ [...] I received a signal from of Belgrade ‘Don’t bother, you’re not on air’. They heard through my feed, for example, [my] colleagues from Italy, Greece and I don’t know who else and the feeds were getting mixed up [...] That lasted for some 15 minutes, Telegraf.rs, {| class=“wikitable plainrowheaders”
