In addition, Szeged will host the 2024 European Olympic and Paralympic Continental Qualification Regatta.
The cities were announced as hosts today (February 21) following a meeting of the European Rowing Board last week.
Annamarie Phelps, chair of the board, said: “We are delighted to be able to confirm these two attributions for our premier event. Next year in Szeged the championships will also incorporate Paris 2024 qualification races, offering the opportunity for eligible crews to earn slots at Olympic or Paralympic Games for the first time, making this a must-watch event.
“Serbia has hosted a number of World events recently but the European Championships return to Belgrade for the first time since 2014. With so many recent events under their belt I am sure the organizing committee will deliver a fantastic event for athletes and spectators.”
