BELGRADE : Serbia's refusal to allow boxers from Kosovo into the country for the men's world championships was due to international federation AIBA's lack of due diligence in awarding the tournament to Belgrade, the International Olympic Committee said on Sunday.
Serbia, which lost control of Kosovo in 1999 after a NATO bombing campaign, does not recognise Kosovo as a state after it declared independence from Serbia in 2008. "It appears that AIBA has not applied the necessary due diligence before allocating this tournament to Belgrade, despite the fact that the IOC has repeatedly advised the international federations of the necessity of such due diligence," an IOC spokesperson said."AIBA aims to provide a welcoming home for every boxer, and the world of boxing has no borders," it said on Saturday."Sport is intended to unite people and should be free of national politics.
The IOC suspended AIBA in 2019, stripping it of any involvement in Olympic qualifiers and the Tokyo 2020 Games tournament over a string of governance, finance and ethical issues.
