At the regional meeting in Moscow, Russia the group of southeast European football associations decided that the following FA's pledged to support him: Russia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia, FYR Macedonia, Albania, Romania, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece and Turkey. 'Following the support of 12 new national associations, Aleksander Ceferin has decided to run for the office of UEFA president' Slovenian FA wrote on its twitter account.
