Participants were greeted by the major Tome Hristoski, meet director Goran Dimiskovshki and FAI Jury President Mitch Shipley.
The previous Claas 1 Europeans and Class 5 Words were also held in Krushevo in 2016. At that time Italian pilots took the podium in both individual (Cristian Ciech) and team Class 1 scoring categories. In Class 5 Tim Grabowski from Germany was the champion and Austria took the first place in Teams.
