The Balkan karate championship in Cacak is more than just a competition, it is a place where friendship, respect and tolerance meet.

For the first time the Karate sport is included in the family of Olympic Games at the first European Games in 2015 in Baku, which will be held by the Olympic Committees of the countries in Europe.
It is a challenge and a test for us. I am convinced that Karate will take its honorable place among the Olympic sports, but to achieve that we will need the required mobilization, work and dedication. Our performance will be indicative of the level of Karate in the Balkans, which will bring serious weight on the Karate Federation of Balkan.
