The EBU has asked that no one attempts to vote for song number five and that if anyone does, their vote will not count, but there is a possibility they may be charged.
There will be important changes to the Eurovision final after Dutch entry Joost Klein was disqualified.
The union also said that it will inform all telecommunications partners that the Netherlands is no longer taking part and will endeavour to block the lines for song number five.
