The participation of all these athletes as neutral athletes in international competition is still subject to formalities for eligibility under World Athletics Rules being completed and subject to acceptance of their entries by European Athletics as the meeting organiser.
The application process for athletes seeking neutral status in international competitions in 2019 opened in December 2018.
