“It is no good when the head of state is making uniform for the team together with fashion designers,” the Belarusian leader told journalists.
According to Deputy Prime Minister Vasil Zharko, the Belarusian government has already received Lukashenka’s order which is be fulfilled in 2017.
“Equipment for children’s and youth sport schools should be domestically produced. We have studied the issue; there are companies that will manufacture uniform, guards, helmets and skates.
