In co-organization of the International Committee of Mediterranean Games (ICMG), the international seminary on gender equality in sports was held in Zagreb from October 9 to 10 2015. The seminary was attended by twenty-odd representatives from Albania, Cyprus, Egypt, Macedonia, Malta, Montenegro, Algeria, Tunisia, Turkey, Monaco and Croatia. By stressing the need of constant solving the problem of gender (in) equality in sports, this seminary emphasized that equality in sports is not exclusively a women’s issue, even though it affects female athletes the most. The conclusions stated that it is necessary to have, latest by 2020, 50 percent women in decision-making positions and to offer equal possibility - in terms of using sports infrastructure, education and employment, financing of competitions and preparations - to both genders in sports. The seminary was participated by five times Olympian Daina Gudzinevičiute, holder of gold Olympic medal in shooting in Sydney in 2000, today the president of the Lithuanian Olympic Committee and member of the Executive Committee of the European Olympic Committees (EOC), quad Paralympic Ana Sršen (member of the Executive Board of the Croatian Paralympic Committee) and Tullio Paratore, President of the Commission for Cooperation and Development of the International Committee for the Mediterranean Games.
