Tournament review

With five teams participating in girls' section of 20th Balkaniad (junior event only) Yugoslavia with WIM Bojkovic on board 1 were top seeded. Romania scored 5/8 to take victory in an extremely tight battle, WFM Radu taking 2 wins and 2 draws on top board. Yugoslavia came last at 3/8, something one could hardly expect. No match ended with clear 2-0, the only case in the history of the event.
