Na poziv Kineskog kulturnog centra u Beogradu, delegacija Srpskog dragon boat saveza 16.10.2023. godine posetila je ovo impresivno zdanje podignuto na mestu Ambasade Kine, koju je bombardovao i srušio NATO 1999. god. Inače, Kinenski kulturni centar u Beogradu je najveći kineski centar na Balkanu i jedan od najvećih na svetu.

Predsednika SDBS Nika Cucu, predsednika UO SDBS Duška Spasovskog, člana UO Mirka Radojičića i generalnog sekretara Anu Duduković ugostili su drugi sekretar Ambasade Republike Kine u Srbiji Cheng Kai, direktor Kineskog kulturnog centra Wang Yanliang i generalni sekretar Kineskog kulturnog centra Liu Changhao.

Predstavnik ambasade i direktor Kineskog kulturnog centra u Beogradu su izrazili spremnost zajedničkog nastupa i organizovanja sportskih manifestacija u Dragon Boat-u, kao i zajednički nastup pred državnim organima u cilju veće prepoznatljivosti ovog sporta u Srbiji.

Na sastanku je razgovarano o mogućnostima saradnje i tom prilikom je dogovoreno da prvi korak u budućoj saradnji bude potpisivanje Memoranduma o razumevanju.

Na 34. redovnom kongresu Evropske dragon boat federacije (EDBF), održanom 11. septembra u Raveni, predsednik Srpskog Dragon Boat Saveza (SDBS) Niko Cuca izabran je za potpredsednika EDBF-a. Ovo je prvi put u istoriji Srpskog dragon boat saveza da ima predstavnika u Izvršnom odboru EDBF-a.

„Ovo je, pre svega, priznanje i velika čast za Srpski Dragon Boat Savez, a posebno za mene lično. Svestan sam odgovornosti i težine obaveza koje me čekaju, imajući u vidu šta Evropska Dragon Boat Federacija predstavlja u evropskom sportu i šta su ciljevi i zadaci u budućem periodu, kako bismo održali i povećali aktivnosti drugog po masovnosti sporta u svetu. Isto tako moram da naglasim da srpski dragon boat čeka ozbiljan i ogroman zadatak, a to je organizacija Evropskog klupskog prvenstva u Beogradu 2025. koje nam je proverio EDBF. Hvala svima koji su me podržali, a posebno predsedniku EDBF i novoizabranom predsedniku IDBF Claudiju Schremiju, koji je mnogo doprineo razvoju dragon boat sporta, a naročito što je prepoznao potencijal i maksimalno pomogao i pomaže razvoj ovog sporta u Srbiji“, poručio je Niko Cuca.
