Unpaid Bills Sink Serbian Rowing

World Rowing, the international governing body of the sport, has suspended the Serbian Rowing Federation over unpaid bills.

World Rowing already had announced postponement of the 2025 European Rowing Championships in Belgrade, citing a change in Serbia’s government and “the risk of a delay in the funding” of World Rowing events.

In December, World Rowing’s executive committee voted to suspend the Serbian Rowing Federation effective the first of this year.

The decision was prompted by “significant financial debts” owed World Rowing and event suppliers by the Serbian Rowing Federation and Serbian guarantors of the 2022 World Rowing Cup I and 2023 World Rowing Championships, World Rowing said in a statement.

World Rowing has been in “close communication” with the Serbian Rowing Federation and various Serbian authorities seeking a way to resolve the debts. After payment, the federation could be reinstated quickly.
