HNS holds Assembly session

HNS Assembly, attended by Croatian sports minister Vedran Mornar and Croatian Olympic Committee representative Siniša Krajač, recalled the major successes of Croatian football and Croatian Football Federation in the previous period, included national teams results and president Šuker's election to UEFA Executive Committee.

In compliance with UEFA terminology, Damir Vrbanović was named Executive Director of Croatian Football Federation, which was one of the changes in the adoption of the new Statute, required to comply with the Croatian law.

Moreover, new HNS Disciplinary Regulations were adopted, effective of 15 June 2015. Among the most important implementations is the application of the UEFA resolution on competition integrity protection, i.e. sanctioning of the football organization members to bet on football results, in person or through other parties.

HNS Assembly also adopted the final fiscal accounts for 2014 and the related documents.

For the work in youth categories, Ivica Grnja, Ivica Perković and Ante Ivković received their awards, and president Davor Šuker said in his speech:

"Behind us is a year rich in sporting success. The results of our national teams are the consequence of quality work in our clubs and successful leadership. Croatia remains a respectable football force".

"We have completed a lot of other projects that make us proud, as well as the success in other fields. Success in finance department will enable us more quality work in 2015", emphasized Šuker.

"Croatian Football Federation secured almost 10 million kuna to aid the victims of Slavonia floods. We have been selected as the hosts of U-17 European championships, hosted the AEFCA Congress, and awarded by UEFA for work on digital platforms. Technical director Jozak visited every Croatian county, I am especially proud of our meeting at Plitvice, we have started with My Tribune project, and we have improved the management of the Assembly", Šuker singled out some of the numerous achievements.

Security Commissioner Zoran Cvrk warned about the issues and the need to cooperate with the Council of Europe and national bodies, considering that Croatian clubs and national team have paid EUR 2,101,910 in fines. Croatian Football Federation will continue to fight against any form of hooliganism and violence.

"UEFA has zero tolerance towards these activities, and with Croatia being a member of European Union, we have to accept the rules. There is no discussion about it. I hope that football can help unite Croatian citizens, when unity is much needed. Croatian football organization has 143,000 registered players, and 250,000 citizens working in football family, with 25 percent of kids playing football. We have something to be proud of", said the first vice-president Zdravko Mamić.
