The Croatian broadcaster HRT had expressed an interest in taking part, but pulled out due to costs and scheduling problems.

As well as those countries that took part, Albania, Armenia, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cyprus, Iceland, Israel and Macedonia also broadcast the contest despite not taking part in it, with possibility to join it in 2008.

Due to the forest fires in Greece the Greek national broadcaster ERT did not air the show live and therefore used jury instead of televoting.

Austria and Portugal both finished with the same number of points, however, Austria received points from every other participating nation thus receiving points from more countries than Portugal, hence Austria took 5th place.
