Session to discuss provision of state support to sport organizations

January 29, 2013

Alexander Lukashenko said that he has reasonable doubts about the fact that sports officials had managed to make sure that all the organizations in the industry had fulfilled the obligations specified by the presidential decree concerning the support of sport organizations. “Back then we came up with a certain formula to support clubs primarily via encouraging sports organizations to earn money on their own. It was decided to correlate state funding with the results of a specific club, a team or an athlete,” the President said. The work to finance children’s and youth sports and to develop the sports infrastructure was determined to be an important area.
