The 17th UEM Congress ended yesterday the 1st of July in Belgrade. The event was perfectly organized by the Moto Association of Serbia (MSS) with the participation of delegates from 38 European National Motorcycling Federations. The meeting helped the different Commissions to analyse and understand the current situation of European championships and to asses which innovations should be planned for next year. Already scheduled in 2010 at the Porto UEM Congress, in name of a healthy alternation of roles, the German Mr Wolfgang Glas took the place of the British Mr Ted Bartlett in the position of first UEM Vice-President and of Sporting Council Chairman. The Management Council, after thanking Mr Bartlett for the great work done up to these days, assigned to him the management of the “UEM Academy” project and the temporary presidency of the Road Racing & Drag Racing Commission, following the resignation of Mr Ap Ruitenbeek.
