Over the weekend, the second heat for Hungary’s Eurovision selection A Dal was due to take place, however due to an unforeseen tragedy, whereby a Hungarian coach crashed near Verona, the second heat was postponed to a future date. In its timeslot was a vigil for the victims of the crash, of which there were unfortunately 16 Hungarians killed, and 26 injuries.

Now, the Hungarian broadcaster has announced how they are planning on catching up with the shows.
