Tonight FIVB made their decision about Wild Cards for coming World Cup, which will be held in Japan from 20th November to 4th of December.
Vladimir Alekno's team will take part in the competition despite the fail on European Championship 2011.

SkyloIoannes - you're right
These cards are deservedly for Polish and Russian ?
About Poland - this country hosted the World League twice, will host World Championship, European Championship, other events, I think this wild card is too much. I don't say Bulgaria deserves it - not after our weak game vs Russia at the ECH and after we got Olympic qualification tournament and World League Final Round as hosts, but Canada or Cameroon could go on the place of Poland. It is better for us Poland to go there and to get the bronze, but this country is given so much advantage so easy, like constantly playing with handicap. This is not fair first for Polish players who will constantly doubt themselves if they deserve their medals, and secondly for the other countries who could have taken their place. After saying this, I will admit that I will support Poland and Russia to qualify for the Olympics since these are our hardest opponents in Europe ?
BTW, imo it is fair that the 4 European teams are the top 4 teams in ECh, and that the 4 top teams in WL will be in WC. So, I think it's fair that Poland will be there too.
Actually, also the first 6 ranked in WCh will be there ?
and i don't think poland got the card just because they held (and will hold) a bunch of international competitions, they have a strong team which recently was european champions, they're always winning something,or close to it, their players among the best in the world and so on
everyting's fare.
and besides now Poland isn't good .... only now when Michal Winiarski, Daniel Pliński and Paweł Zagumny the in World Cup back then Poland will be strong
About the first part of your post, I think is quite arrogant saying "Serbia is not tough opponent for us", I don't like when someone understimate his opponents. It's not a coincidence that Serbia is the ECH champion, btw..
2004 - 4 matches in WL intercontinental round 3 victories for Bulgaria - 3:2, 3:2, 3:1, one lost 2:3, 1 match in Final round, 3:0 for Serbia
2006 - Bulgaria - Serbia 3:0 World League Final Round
- Bulgaria - Serbia 3:1 World Championship bronze medal
2009 - Bulgaria - Serbia 3:2 European Championship first round
Too bad I Bulgaria doesn't have them in the Cup of the world after their weak game this year
Serbia has the strongest composition compared Poland to where there was no Wlazły, Zagumny, Pliński and Winiarski
Once again, congratulations to Serbia
Compassion Bulgaria
anyway I'm glad that Zagumny Winiarski and return Pliński
What Wlazly i don't know
I'm interesting or exempt Stoychev
but Bulgaria also has got very good players ?
Bulgaria pity that will not be at the World Cup because it is a good team
