History
The Belarusian broadcaster, BTRC, decided to debuts in the contest for the sixteenth edition. They observed the previous edition in Madrid. Beause of that, there were rumors that they would make their debut in Malta. This rumors turned out to be correct. They qualified for the final, where they finished at the 15th place.

In Cologne, Belarus qualified for the final. In the final they finished at the last place. In Bucharest, they did better. They reached the 9th place. In Sweden, they failed for the first time qualify for the final. In Azerbaijan, they finished at the 14th place. In Bulgaria, they finished at the 9th place. In the following two editions, they failed to qualify.

Belarus didn't appear at the official list of participating countries for the 24th edition, published by the EBU. There are some rumours that their withdrawal was because of the current political tensions in the country. However, this isn't officially confimed. The broadcaster from Belarus announced that they would return to the 28th edition. This was because the Azerbaijani broadcaster invited them to participate. They finished at the third place. In Geneva, they even did better by finishing at the second place. In the next edition, they finished at the 14th place.

After the country reached the final in the 31st edition, the country did not submit an entry for the 32nd edition in Sweden. The broadcaster probably made this decision because of the ongoing political tensions.
