The catering facilities were visited as well.
In the afternoon, the commission also inspected various sports venues in the city of Zagreb, among them also Rowing Centre Jarun where they were welcomed by Mr Josip Kostelic, EUSA Technical Delegate for Rowing. At the end of their stay in Zagreb, the members of the supervision commission also held an internal meeting to prepare the report, which will be presented to the members of EUSA Executive Committee on its next meeting in Coimbra in November 2014.
