Also arriving today were Vice President Jean Marcel Nartz, Executive Director Olaf Schroeder and General Secretary Diana Spasova, who all, living in Germany, had a much shorter trip. The unofficial part of the WBF Convention commenced with organizational meetings late this afternoon at Viktor’s Residenz-Hotel Rodenhof as well as at the Saarbruecker Newspaper Publishing House (who are supporting partners of the WBF Convention).
