According to Serbian Economist, Montenegrin Budva has been granted the right to host the 10th European Paragliding Championships in the precision landing discipline, which will take place from September 30 to October 7, 2028.
The decision was made at the 51st plenary session of the Paragliding Commission of the World Aviation Federation CIVL/FAI, which took place in Porto.
Montenegro’s competitor in the race to host the tournament was Kosovo.
The delegation of the Air Sports Union of Montenegro was led by its president, Zoran Lakić. In addition to presenting their bid for the European Championship, representatives of the union held talks with the leadership of the World Aviation Federation on further international programs. In particular, they discussed the possibility of holding air races in Budva in 2027, as well as a World Hot Air Balloon Festival in 2028 in several cities in Montenegro.
For Budva, hosting the European championship could be an additional factor in the development of event and sports tourism outside the peak summer season.
