The Czech entry in Moscow this year was called Aven Romale

The country, which made its debut1 in 2007, came last with no points in one of the semi-finals in May.

Its previous two attempts failed to reach the final, with rock band Kabat also coming last in the qualifying2 round two years ago.

Norway's Alexander Rybak scored a landslide3 win at this year's contest.

Comic character

A spokesman4 for Czech Television told the BBC's Rob Cameron in Prague that poor viewing figures for the show also prompted the decision.

This year's Czech entry was performed by Roma group Gipsy.cz, with its lead singer dressed as comic character Supergipsy.

It was the first time in five years that a country had failed to make a mark on the scoreboard(记分板).

Slovakia, the Czech Republic's closest neighbour, returned to Eurovision this year after a gap of 11 years.

Czech Television told Eurovision website ESC Today that the contest had proved a success in Slovakia, despite their failure to make the final.
