Speaking after his re-election, LTF President Cerka said:
“I have decided to continue my work for another term for several reasons. During my first four years we assessed the situation on volleyball development at an international level together with the strategies of the Lithuanian Government towards sports development in the country. We have analysed the situation and developed the LTF’s strategy in accordance with the tendencies and pulse on both levels.
“During this period, we have been working towards the things which can and should be changed, and I’ve done some rethinking on how to overcome obstacles which impede the fruitful development of volleyball in our country.
“Together with the team and our community members we will reconsider the Lithuanian volleyball strategy, initiate some changes needed for volleyball to grow its high-performance level. I am thankful and grateful for the federation’s community, which once again have placed their trust in me and entrusted our team to continue the work which has been started for one more term”
In addition, Marius Vasiliauskas will continue his work as LTF Vice-President in charge of beach volleyball, while the former Secretary General of the Federation, Mr Andrius Gaidys will serve as Vice-President responsible for volleyball.
