S. Belt said goodbye to media representatives at the Vilnius airport. Along with him, the well-known music producer, DJ Jonas Nainys-Jovani is going to Malmö.

Sylvester flew to Sweden with six suitcases. He said he felt great and even shed a tear from excitement.

“Inhuman support, it seems, a reunification of people, it’s so good inside, because I really have a lot of support inside, there can be no fear,” said Silvestre, when asked how he felt.

The representative of Lithuania emphasized that he is pleased to hear how Luktelk is performed by foreigners.

“It’s a very strange feeling when foreigners sing in Lithuanian, with accents, I really like hearing it and it makes me happy that they remember the text, it’s very good,” said Silvester Belt.

When asked about his pre-show rituals, the performer revealed his methods of calming down.

“I noticed that I need to be quiet for half an hour or an hour before, without people with headphones and then I concentrate and don’t get distracted. I will try to concentrate, meditate and everything will be fine,” he smiled.

There is a small detail stuck on the stage clothes, which is not visible, but it gives Silvester pleasant feelings. This is his talisman.

Silvester mentioned that he changed clothes, but the colors remained the same. “Everything is better, stronger and more,” added the artist.

Silvestre’s mother, father, two sisters and friends will come to Malmö.

“I’m looking forward to seeing them and smelling home,” he said.

A representative of Gjensidige presented a peace cushion with his initials as a gift, a nose accessory. Sylvester was pleasantly surprised and grateful.
