Ljubomirja Pavloviča iz Univerze v Nišu, je smučarski center Jahorina s Fakulteto za šport in telesno vzgojo Univerze v Sarajevu, Bosne in Hercegovine, gostil 2. mednarodno konferenco SPE BALKAN SKI.

(Slovenija) ter mnogim drugim, ki so v več kot 30 znanstvenih prispevkih predstavili najnovejše poglede na občutljiva področja varnosti in poškodb, odkrivali skrivnosti priprav in razvoja smučarske tehnike ter izpostavili sodobne možnosti in pristope v metodologiji in didaktiki učenja smučanja. Avtorji najboljših prispevkov so bili povabljeni, da dela objavijo v znanstvenih časopisih univerz gostiteljic.
Dopoldanske delavnice na snegu so vodili člani demo skupin iz sodelujočih držav na Balkanu (ekipe demonstratorjev iz Slovenije, Bolgarije, Bosne in Hercegovine, Srbije in Črne gore), kjer so udeleženci lahko nadgradili teoretična znanja s praktičnim delom na snegu. Spektakularni večer z "Demo showom" je bil izjemno odmeven dogodek, kjer so lahko še tako zahtevni poznavalci uživali v popolnosti smučarskih tehnik nastopajočih ekip demonstratorjev nacionalnih smučarskih šol.
Kljub toplemu pomladnemu vremenu in zato slabšim snežnim pogojem, je smučišče Jahorina, kot edino prizorišče zimskih olimpijskih iger na Balkanu, ob prisotnosti posebnih gostov - slovenske in bosanske smučarske legende Bojana Križaja in Enisa Becirbegovica ter 143 udeležencev iz 10 držav, pričaralo prvovrsten in nepozaben dogodek.
Zima 2019 je že rezervirana za pomemben INTERSKI kongres v Bolgarskem smučarskem centru Pomporovo, zato bo naslednjo, 3. mednarodno konferenco SPE BALKAN SKI, v marcu 2020 gostila Slovenija v smučarskem centru Rogla.
