Quotas for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro will be allocated in twelve sports, daily Dnevnik reports.
Bulgaria's Sports Ministry promised to allocate BGN 1 M for the participation of Bulgarian athletes, but according to the Bulgarian Olympic Committee (BOC) the funds will not be sufficient.
The General Secretary of BOC Belcho Goranov expressed the Committee's readiness to cover the remainder of the expenses through its own resources.
Goranov added that the European Games will be used as an opportunity for gathering experience and the winning of as many Olympic quotas as possible.
In volleyball, Bulgaria will be most likely represented by its A team, while the B team will compete in the other tournaments.
Goranov assured that Bulgaria will participate with its best athletes, especially in the key sports for the country, such as wrestling.
