One of the largest sports facilities during the European Games, the Athletes’ Village, will accommodate about 6,000 people. The dining hall there is designed for 2,000 seats. “The menu will include dishes of European, Belarusian and Asian cuisine, kosher meals. Athletes will be able to visit the dining hall any time, without any restrictions. Approximately 250-270 dishes will be on the daily menu in the Athletes’ Village,” Yulia Kravchenko said.

During the 2nd European Games the catering program will cover more than 1,800 guests, about 1,200 media representatives, 500 employees of the broadcasting company and about 8,000 volunteers. “These are different programs.
