The Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports Prof. Daniela Dasheva opened a practical session to raise awareness about the fight against the manipulation of sports competitions. The organizer of the conference was MMS.
Prof. Dasheva pointed out that in order to deal with unacceptable practices and corruption in sports, it is very important to ensure the availability of appropriate regulations, mechanisms and tools to preserve and secure the sports sector. In this context, the Ministry of Youth and Sports initiated the creation of a National Platform between the interested institutions to combat the manipulation of sports events in accordance with the requirements of the Macolin Convention.
Prof. Dasheva added that one of the priority topics on which the MMC works is precisely the fight against the manipulation of sports competitions.
“This is a global threat that needs a global response. Dealing with this problem requires national and international cooperation between public, law enforcement and judicial authorities, sports organizations, gambling regulators and all other interested parties,” emphasized the Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports .
Prof. Dasheva added that, taking into account its coordination function in the fight against the manipulation of sports competitions, the ICC turned to the Dutch Foundation for Integrity in Sports for the inclusion of our country in the international project IntegriSport 3.0., which has the ambition to increase the effectiveness of investigations at national level.
Deputy Minister Dasheva expressed her gratitude to the representatives of law enforcement and judicial bodies, sports federations, Bulgarian and international experts for the demonstrated commitment to keeping sports clean.
