The submission of the candidature completes all technical requests; an elaborate on Belgrade was submitted as well as the gifts with Universiade 2009 logo, Head of the Serbian Sports Directorate Aleksandar Sostar told in a telephone statement for the Serbian government’s official website.
The FISU will make a final decision on the city host on January 10, 2005, Sostar said, adding that Belgrade’s prospects to win the organisation of this championship are good. There is a load of work ahead of us in the next six months so that Belgrade could be presented as the city host in a right manner, Sostar said.
Apart from Belgrade, cities that applied for the candidature to the FISU are Monterey, Mexico, and Poznan, Poland.
