Cervar stood with Primorsky in the fight for the top of the HOO: 'He will never turn his head in the face of injustice'

Elections for the new president of the Croatian Olympic Committee (HOO) are scheduled for July 29, with candidates including Professor Dr. Sc. Dragan Primorac and Josip Varvodić, president of the Croatian Swimming Association and vice-president of the European Swimming Federation. The HOO board consists of representatives from 101 institutions plus seven additional voting members who will decide the next leader of Croatia’s top sports organization. Primorac has emphasized that the number of signatures he received exceeds the threshold needed for victory and that he continues to gain support from athletes and sports professionals. Former coach of the Croatian handball team Lino Červar publicly endorsed Primorac, praising his integrity and commitment to fairness. Červar highlighted Primorac’s determination to fight against injustice and protect the dignity of all athletes and sports workers. Červar has an impressive coaching career, leading the Croatian national team to major successes such as the gold medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics and the world championship title in Portugal in 2003.
