MINSK, 11 April (BelTA) – The TV channel Euronews offers a new video on the Minsk European Games 2019 in its Focus latest episode, BelTA has learned.

The five-minute video tells about the athletes’ preparations for the competitions and how the Belarusian capital is getting its infrastructure ready for the games.
