Kosovo Olympic Committee delegation visiting the COC The President and Secretary General of the Croatian Olympic Committee Zlatko Matesa and Josip Cop received on February 17th the Kosovo Olympic Committee delegation headed by the President Besim Hasani. The theme of the meeting is to support the Olympic Committee of Kosovo in its efforts to become a full member of the international Olympic family and to provide its top athletes to appear under their own flag after the proclamation of independence of Kosovo in 2008. For now, until all the conditions necessary for recognition by the IOC are met, many top athletes from Kosovo perform for foreign countries, while those remaining in the homeland have no opportunity to measure forces with international competition and thus realistically assess their own quality - reported their hosts the members of the KOC delegation, substantiating the same with the example of Kosovo top athlete, world junior champion Majlinda Kelmendi who, at the World Junior Championships in judo in 2009 performed under the banner of the International Judo Federation (IJF). Warm welcome and an open support by the COC leaders attended the member of the Olympic Committee of Kosovo Ferid Zekolli, representative of the Albanian Cultural Society “Shkendija” in Croatia, Tom Kacinari (also the President of the Community of Associations of Homeland War Volunteers) and former member of the Croatian national football team Ardian Kozniku. The increasing number of women at the Olympics For the first time in the history of the Olympic Games in all the sports that are on the program of the London Olympics 2012, women and men will be represented in almost equal numbers. At the same time, in the Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games, its bodies and departments there are 50 percent of women, many of them in management positions. These are all recent facts of the global progress of female participation in sports and Olympic models under the auspices of the International Olympic Committee. This was also one of the issues on the 5th World Conference on Women and Sport, held in Los Angeles from February 16th - 18th, 2012, in the presence of numerous notables of the world Olympism, among which were the President Jacques Rogge, the President of the Organizing Committee of Olympic Games London 2012, Lord Sebastian Coe and President of the Women and Sports Commission and member of the IOC’s Executive Board Anita DeFrantz, who chaired the Conference. The conference entitled “The Future of Sports: Stronger Together” (organized by the IOC) has gathered more than 800 notables from the world Olympic movement, athletes, Olympians, representatives of national Olympic committees and the media. Among the participants, there were three Croatian representatives - President of the Commission for women in sports Morana Palikovic Gruden, Secretary of the Commission Gordan Borko and Croatian Olympian, skier Ana Jelusic who, along with nine young sporting ambassadors, athletes and media representatives, presented at the youth plenary session her experience in world sports and Olympism.
