The main issues of the meeting were logistic support of the Olympic training centers and legal support of the off-budget financing of the top sports development. The NOC President Sergei Bubka expressed his concern on a tendency that becomes an everyday occurrence in our country, i.e. the main Olympic centers pass into ownership of the private individuals, that makes difficulties for athletes’ full-fledged training in Ukraine prior the Olympic Games.
