The 20 best senior individuals from 2013 will compete at the multiple competition (CII).

102 juniors (from 32 NF) will participate in the qualifying competition I (CI) and team competition and the final competition (4 apparatus) (CIII), 21 senior groups (consisted of 6 gymnasts) will present two different voluntary exercises, one executed with one apparatus (clubs), the other with different apparatus (3 balls/2 ribbons) on the occasion of the competition I (general competition) and the competition III (final competition for each exercise). At the European Championships in even years, the 20 best gymnasts from competition I of the previous year present their routines.^[2]

Controversies

According to Armenian sources, the organizers of the European Championships in Rhythmic Gymnastics in Baku asked the Belarusian group to not use the music of Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian, which was reported by head coach Irina Leparskaya at a press conference in Minsk. The group had been performing their 2 Ribbons + 3 Balls routine with Khachaturian's "Sabre Dance", but they had to change to different music two weeks before the start of the Championships event.^[3] Spokeswoman for the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Azerbaijan Samaya Mamedova said they did not interfere in any federation's music decisions:

Regarding Belarus, we didn't ask them to abandon their music. This decision was taken by Belarus itself. This is another provocative piece of information spread by Armenians to tarnish Azerbaijan as organizer of the European Championships of Rhythmic Gymnastics.^[4]

The Belarusian group, usually medal contenders, finished 17th in the all-around and placed last with their 2 Ribbons + 3 Balls qualification score amongst 21 countries during the European Championships. Armenia did not compete or send any delegations to the championships.
