Pragalos and Fysentzidis were accompanied by the Serbian Taekwondo Federation vice-president, Professor Siniša Jasnić, and the local body's secretary general Miroslav Krkljes.

They met with Vanja Udovičić, Serbia's Minister of Youth and Sports, along with the acting Minister Drako Udovičić and the special advisor to the Ministry Ivana Dukić.

Discussing the ongoing preparations for World Taekwondo's flagship European event was high on the agenda.
