In perioada 22-25 Septembrie va avea loc Balcaniada de karate rezervata cadetiilor, juniorilor si seniorilor in localitatea cipriota Larnaka , iar mai jos aveti o scurta prezentare a acestui campionat de prestigiu din zona balcanica.

 "Dear Friends,

It is a great pleasure to me to welcome you to the beautiful island of Cyprus.

Although it is the first time that a Balkan event in held here, the Cyprus Karate Federation has already been the host of Mediterranean, European and World Championships and I am confident that with the experience they have they can guarantee a very successful event.

I believe that many of these championships medallists will be competing next October in Malaysia during the 2011 World junior-Cadet Championships, so Balkan Championships is a great opportunity to test their readiness.

I invite you all to strongly support our annual event and make sure that these championships will live up to our ideals and in every way promote the development of our sport in the Balkan peninsula."

Yours sincerely, George Yerolimpos - FBK President
