Legendary Serbian volleyball player and distinguished sports official \u017deljko Tanaskovi\u0107 was re-elected as president of this prestigious global organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Serbian capital welcomed more than 100 delegates from all five continents. Tanaskovi\u0107 entered the election as the sole candidate for a new ISF term and was entrusted with another mandate in the most emphatic way possible\u2014by acclamation and with several minutes of thunderous applause from representatives of national federations from around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to electing the president, the Assembly also selected three vice presidents of the federation. There was considerable interest in these positions, resulting in a closely contested secret ballot to determine the leadership order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the votes were counted, Antonio Hora Filho of Brazil was elected First Vice President. Youssef Belqasmi of Morocco became Second Vice President, while Teng Lianshuai of China was elected Third Vice President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The importance of the event for the Republic of Serbia and global sports was underscored by the presence of the country&#8217;s highest-ranking officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The special guest at the Electoral Assembly was Serbian Prime Minister Dr. \u0110uro Macut, who addressed those in attendance, emphasizing the importance of school sports for the healthy development of young people and the future of society as a whole. Prime Minister Macut warmly congratulated \u017deljko Tanaskovi\u0107 on his convincing victory and new mandate. Also attending on behalf of the Serbian Government were Deputy Chief of Staff Neboj\u0161a Pe\u0161i\u0107 and the Prime Minister&#8217;s Sports Adviser Branko Jov\u010di\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Assembly was also attended by Serbia&#8217;s Minister of Sports Zoran Gaji\u0107 and the minister&#8217;s Chief of Staff Jovan Kne\u017eevi\u0107, who expressed their full support for the ISF leadership and highlighted the importance of continued cooperation between state institutions and school sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">READ MORE: <\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-serbiantimes-info wp-block-embed-serbiantimes-info\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"eBSUWqZ5DF\"><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/tragedija-u-novom-sadu-troje-ljudi-stradalo-u-teskoj-saobracajnoj-nesreci-vozilo-se-prevrnulo-i-zavrsilo-u-vodi\/\">TRAGEDIJA U NOVOM SADU: Troje ljudi stradalo u te\u0161koj saobra\u0107ajnoj nesre\u0107i, vozilo se prevrnulo i zavr\u0161ilo u vodi!<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201eTRAGEDIJA U NOVOM SADU: Troje ljudi stradalo u te\u0161koj saobra\u0107ajnoj nesre\u0107i, vozilo se prevrnulo i zavr\u0161ilo u vodi!\u201c \u2014 Serbiantimes.info\" src=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/tragedija-u-novom-sadu-troje-ljudi-stradalo-u-teskoj-saobracajnoj-nesreci-vozilo-se-prevrnulo-i-zavrsilo-u-vodi\/embed\/#?secret=0Tv99LPurJ#?secret=eBSUWqZ5DF\" data-secret=\"eBSUWqZ5DF\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A New Era and New Challenges for School Sports<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the re-election of \u017deljko Tanaskovi\u0107, the successful era of modernization and development of school sports at the global level will continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under his leadership, the federation has launched a number of reforms and innovative projects aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles, inclusion, and the spirit of sportsmanship among schoolchildren around the world. The International School Sport Federation is now entering a period marked by the implementation of numerous new activities, competitions, and programs that will further strengthen the role of sports within education systems worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;When I took over the leadership of the International School Sport Federation several years ago, my goal was clear\u2014to provide children around the world with the best possible conditions, the joy of competition, and true sporting values. Today, seeing more than one hundred delegates from all five continents unanimously placing their trust in me fills me with indescribable pride, but also tremendous responsibility. When the whole world gives you this kind of support, there is no stopping. I promise that we will work even harder and with even greater dedication, and that in the years ahead we will organize even more international events and launch projects that will permanently transform school sports on a global scale.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am especially proud that Belgrade hosted such a magnificent gathering. The hospitality and the high level of organization have once again demonstrated how highly respected Serbia is around the world. I sincerely thank Prime Minister Dr. \u0110uro Macut and Minister of Sports Zoran Gaji\u0107 for honoring our Assembly with their presence and sending a strong message about how much our country values sport and the education of young people.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, I owe special gratitude to City Secretary Nikola Peni\u0107 and the Secretariat for Sports and Youth of the City of Belgrade for their unwavering and continuous support for the development of school sports. Without such a solid foundation and systematic assistance, we would not be able to achieve such outstanding results on the world stage,&#8221; said \u017deljko Tanaskovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/court-ordered-detention-for-aleksandar-radic-military-analyst-who-spoke-about-sound-cannon-on-the-run-outside-the-country\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">COURT ORDERED DETENTION FOR ALEKSANDAR RADI\u0106: Military analyst who spoke about sound cannon on the run outside the country!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/in-smederevo-like-after-an-apocalypse-city-under-water-after-the-storm-building-roof-collapsed-cars-damaged\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">IN SMEDEREVO LIKE AFTER AN APOCALYPSE: City under water after the storm, building roof collapsed, cars damaged!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/declaration-that-changed-the-history-of-the-balkans-here-is-how-the-creation-of-the-joint-state-of-serbs-croats-and-slovenes-began-on-corfu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">DECLARATION THAT CHANGED THE HISTORY OF THE BALKANS: Here is how the creation of the joint state of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes began on Corfu!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/spain-is-the-new-world-champion-red-fury-brought-down-messi-and-company-in-extra-time-historic-final-in-new-york-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">SPAIN IS THE NEW WORLD CHAMPION: Red Fury brought down Messi and company in extra time, historic final in New York!
