Bulgarian Chess Federation Expelled From European Chess Union

The Bulgarian Chess Federation has been expelled from the European Chess Union during a meeting in Baku.

The decision was supported by 37 of the members of the management; 11 voted against.

The European Chess Union argued that the reason for this drastic measure is the refusal of the Bulgarian Chess Federation to submit the documents and invoices requested for the period 2011-2014 when Silvio Danailov was President of the European Chess Union.
