Jan Bors, the head of the Czech Rep. delegation, revealed that he would like Eurovision Song CZ to be retained as a Czech national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest.
In an interview to eurocontest.cz, he stated that Česká Televize, the Czech national broadcaster, will have to continue the national selection and that several Czech artists have already begun working for their entries for the 2019 selection.
Of course, Česká televize has not yet confirmed whether or not to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2019, although it is expected to be present in Israel.
