On July 29, @SrbEurovision on Twitter announced that Montenegro would not return to Junior Eurovision this year in Warsaw, Poland.
Though no official reason was stated in the announcement, Montenegro’s non-participation in 2019 was due to budget issues, as was Montenegro’s withdrawal in Eurovision 2020.

As of August 1, thirteen countries have confirmed their participation in the 2020 contest:
- Belarus
- France
- Georgia
- Germany
- Ireland
- Kazakhstan
