of <strong>European</strong> <strong>Athletic</strong>s President<br />
We reach a milestone at this year’s <strong>European</strong><br />
<strong>Athletic</strong>s Junior Championships in Novi Sad<br />
with the 20th anniversary of this prestigious<br />
event.<br />
Throughout each of the previous 19 editions<br />
we have had the cream of <strong>European</strong> junior athletic<br />
talent battling for supremacy in their age<br />
group and this year is sure to be no different.<br />
Many have moved on from these championships<br />
to glittering success at the <strong>European</strong><br />
Championships, World Championships and<br />
Olympic Games at senior level.<br />
Indeed, the <strong>European</strong> <strong>Athletic</strong>s Junior Championships<br />
are an important step on the development<br />
ladder for athletes throughout Europe.<br />
They are characterised by an admirable competitiveness<br />
among the athletes and consistently<br />
surprising results, which have made the<br />
biennial championships a highlight on the <strong>European</strong><br />
athletics calendar.<br />
We are pleased that the venue for this event is<br />
the excellent Karadjordje Stadium, which has<br />
hosted <strong>European</strong> Cup meets twice in the past<br />
five years. <strong>European</strong> <strong>Athletic</strong>s is grateful to the<br />
<strong>Athletic</strong>s Federation of Serbia (Atleski Savez<br />
Srbije) and the Local Organising Committee in<br />
Novi Sad, who have done their best to ensure<br />
the best conditions await our young hopefuls.<br />
We warmly welcome all media who are attending<br />
these championships and we hope you are<br />
able to enjoy an exciting 20th anniversary of<br />
the <strong>European</strong> <strong>Athletic</strong>s Junior Championships<br />
in this wonderful city of Novi Sad.<br />

Ovogodišnjim Evropskim juniorskim prve n stvom<br />
u atletici stižemo do jubileja ovog prestižnog<br />
takmičenja i njegove dva de stogodišnjice.<br />
Svih 19 prethodnih izdanja ovog takmičenja<br />
imali smo priliku da pratimo sam vrh evropskih<br />
atletskih juniorskih talenata kako se bore<br />
za nadmo[ u svojoj starosnoj grupi a situacija<br />
svakako ne[e biti drugačija ni ove godine.<br />
Mnogi od njih su od ovih takmičenja prešli<br />
na svetle uspehe na Evropskim prvenstvima,<br />
Svetskim prvenstvima i Olimpijskim igrama na<br />
seniorskom nivou.<br />
Zaista su Evropska juniorska prvenstva predstavljala<br />
značajnu stepenicu na razvojnoj lestvici<br />
za atletičare širom Evrope. Njih krasi<br />
veliki takmičarski duh me\u atletičarima i<br />
stalno uzlazni rezultati, koji su učinili da ovo<br />
dvogodišnje prvenstvo postane svetao trenutak<br />
evropskog atletskog kalendara.<br />
Drago nam je što je mesto na kojem [e se odigrati<br />
ovo takmičenje fantastični stadion Kara\or\e,<br />
koji je bio doma[in mitinzima Evropskog<br />
kupa dva puta u proteklih pet godina. Evropska<br />
atletika je zahvalna Atletiskom savezu Srbije i<br />
Lokalnom organizacionom komitetu u Novom<br />
Sadu, koji su dali sve od sebe da obezbede najbolje<br />
mogu[e uslove koji spremno čekaju naše<br />
mlade nade.<br />
Želimo toplu dobrodošlicu svim predstavnicima<br />
medija koji [e prisustvovati ovom prvenstvu<br />
i nadamo se da [ete imati priliku da uživate<br />
u uzbudljivom jubilarnom dvadesetom izdanju<br />
Evropskog juniorskog prvenstva u atletici u<br />
predivnom gradu Novom Sadu.<br />

Predsednik EA
