The General Assembly met at the Radisson Lazurnaya where they held meetings and a press conference.  The General Assembly decided that the European Youth Olympic Festival will be held in 2013 in Romania and that its 2012 meeting will be held in the Israeli Red Sea resort city of Elat.  The General Assembly will again meet April 12 in Moscow, when they will vote on whether to hold the European Games.
