The programme of the meeting included elections for the presidency and members of the Board of Administration, with four candidates standing for the top job - Adin Cojocaru, Gheorghe Visan, Oana Sarb and Mihai Duta. Both Ms Sarb and Mr Duta withdrew their candidature shortly before the vote took place.

Visan received 42 of the votes cast by the delegates in attendance. In addition, Ms Sarb and Mr Duta will serve as Vice-Presidents of the Romanian Volleyball Federation for the next four years.
“I will be a partner to, and hold an open dialogue with, all affiliated clubs,†Mr Cojocaru said after his election. “I will support them, and I will do everything possible to grow our beloved sport in Romania. Volleyball needs the involvement of all stakeholders, and this is what I intend to do.â€
