The President of the Bulgarian Taekwondo Federation Slavi Binev was elected President of the European Taekwondo Association. This is another high recognition for Binev's contribution to the development of martial arts. A few months ago, he was elected Vice President of the World Taekwondo Professional Federation. The news comes after the KUKKIWON World Headquarters announced the launch of a global online taekwondo platform, with Binev playing a key role. He is also the first member of the leadership of the KUKKIWON, without being of Korean origin.
