As it turned out, their Eurovision journey this year almost ended right at the beginning. At the solemn turquoise carpet ceremony, the creators met journalists from Lithuania and gladly gave an interview to Žmonės.lt at that time. After the texts appeared, the guys received a call from the event organizers.

“I feel like we messed up something,” said Deividas in the video when he saw who was calling.

On their way to meet the organizers, the “Nešvankiai” channel guys wondered what they could have done to be “called to the mat”.

They thought they might have violated one important rule intended for all press representatives accredited at “Eurovision”.

All journalists and other media representatives were strictly required to hide the main side of their accreditations, which contained all the information about where they were from and what passes they were granted.

At the “Eurovision” opening event, the “Nešvankiai” creators boldly posed for the media with the open sides of their accreditations, so they suspected they would have to face consequences for that.

However, after a detailed conversation, it turned out that the organizers were concerned about something else entirely. In interviews given to Lithuanian journalists, the guys repeatedly mentioned that they came here to play pranks, that they would like to run onto the stage during the broadcast, and so on.

“I said: ‘Well, that would be nonsense.’ And they answered me: ‘Yes, you probably wouldn’t want to sit in an Austrian prison,'” shared Deividas, quoting the conversation with the “Eurovision” organizers.

And his colleague Nedas emphasized that at the “Eurovision” opening event, the Lithuanian journalists said anything. Eventually, they managed to convince the organizers to allow them to stay until the end of the contest.
