In the state -of -the -art, the newly elected chairman of the BOC Vesela Lecheva referred to the Statute of the Organization and the Act on Physical Education and Sports, and asked to take office without waiting for the court’s decision. Lecheva, who was elected at the General Assembly of the Olympic Committee of the General Assembly on March 19, continues to be unable to contact the former chairman Stefka Kostadinova. A total of 6 complaints were filed against the election of the chairman of the Bulgarian Short Union for the BOC chief last week.

In an interview with Mr. Belcho Goranov, I conveyed the wish of the BOC leadership, elected by the March 19, 2025, to take office. The public confidence in an institution with a100-year history is undermined, « Vesela Lecheva said in the position of Vesela Lecheva.
According to her lawyer’s team according to Art. 25, para. 1 AT NRUNC and Art. 31, para. 1, item 3 of the Statute of the BOC, the General Assembly of the Association is the competent authority, which elects and releases the chairman of the BOC and the members of the Executive Bureau and the Control Board. According to the current Bulgarian legislation, the entry in the register of non -profit legal entities has only the only notice effect. The decisions taken by the General Assembly of the NGO shall enter into force immediately, regardless of whether they are entered or are requested in court.
BOC secretary turned against Lecheva, the court stopped entry as chairman
The actions brought to the court under Art. 25, para. 4 The Law on Non -profit Organizations is for annulment of the decisions already enforced by the BOC (no complaints to displace their entry into force). Therefore, the newly elected chairman, Mrs. Vesela Lecheva, is such from the date of the claim – 19.03. 2025 The previous chairman has already been dismissed, again by a decision of the BOC General Assembly, on the same date. The newly elected chairman may act as such in both the internal relations of the association and legitimize himself to a third for BOCs as such as the date with the decision of the General Assembly. And in this case, such legitimation is not even needed in view of the widespread media coverage of the election of BOC members, according to Lecheva’s legal team.
