Tirana hosted the 78th Electoral Congress of the European Boxing Union (EBU), one of the most important events in the world of professional boxing. The Congress was attended by 38 of the 44 EBU member countries, who decided on the future leadership and directions of development of European professional boxing.

Montenegro was represented at the gathering in the capital of Albania by Milorad-Mijo Martinović, president of the Montenegrin Professional Boxing Federation, and Sreten-Keto Bošković, a recognized international boxing referee.

Peter Stucki from Switzerland has been re-elected as President of the European Boxing Union, confirming the trust he enjoys among the members of this prestigious organization.

The election of the President of the Serbian Professional Boxing Association, Lena Zečević, to the EBU Board of Directors attracted particular attention. She won a convincing 209 votes and became the first representative from the former Yugoslavia and the Balkan Peninsula to be elected to the highest governing body of the European Boxing Union.

This result represents a significant recognition for professional boxing in the region and confirmation of many years of work on improving and promoting this sport on the international stage.

The President of the Montenegrin Professional Boxing Federation, Mijo Martinović, congratulated the newly elected EBU leadership, as well as Lena Zečević, on the historic success.

"The election of Lena Zečević to the Board of Directors of the European Boxing Union represents a great success not only for Serbia, but also for the entire region. This is confirmation that the Balkan countries have quality sports workers who, with their knowledge, dedication and results, deserve a place in the most important European sports institutions," congratulated Martinović and added:

"The Montenegrin Professional Boxing Federation will continue to develop cooperation with national federations in the region and the EBU, with the aim of further improving professional boxing and creating new opportunities for our boxers on the international stage," said Martinović, President of the Montenegrin Professional Boxing Federation.
