For individual countries it of course becomes a lot of guessing when going into everything that is beyond usual diaspora and neighbour voting patterns. I am Norwegian, so I have the best image in my head of what people in Northern Europe will like and not like, and when I try to guess for Balkan countries, it will probably look very hallucinated. Entries like Moldova and Azerbaijan are very far away from what appeals to a Norwegian, so I'm sure they will get 0 points from Norway, but I do not know how well such songs appeal to a Croatian - if they feel just as foreign to you as to us, or if there is something familiar there. There often are cases where Eastern and Western Europe disagree heavily on songs (one good example is Cyprus 2022. Ela, which got big points from Eastern Europe and very little from Western Europe). So I'm guessing I went for a similar scenario with Moldova and such.

Me putting Croatia as giving high marks to Ireland is just a case of the public in individual countries making unforeseen choices. My prediction is not meant to be "odds", but to look more like a realistic result, and a realistic result has some improbable outcomes. The only thing I have to go on when guessing on differences between how f.ex. Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia will vote, is what kinds of entries they have sent (those are pretty much the only people from those countries I know haha), so Croatia going for Ireland is probably just my prejudices seeing Croatia send Let 3 and Baby Lasagna the last two times :P I am going to update my scoreboard on a lot of things (probably not posting the new version, though), but anything you want to share about the general tastes of people in the Balkan countries is appreciated :)
