“Our number one priority should be to promote sport without frontiers for all: athletes, coaches, fans and sport amateurs,” Alexander Lukashenko said.

The President noted that the number of participants in cross-border athletic and cycling events is increasing every year. Belarus welcomes sports events co-hosted by several countries. This strengthens cooperation and helps address emerging issues in a prompt way.

“We suggest that the EOC compile an annual European calendar of such international sports events. We need to relax, as much as possible, or even cancel visa requirements and customs formalities for their participants, athletes and fans. This will help us attract a much bigger audience,” the head of state said.
