Denis Dudinsky, host of the opening ceremony of the international song contest Junior Eurovision-2018: "Everything should be very homely, stylish, and tasty. We can do well. If you remember a few years ago we were told that it was the best preparation."

Maria Moskalik, participant of the opening ceremony of the international song contest Junior Eurovision-2018: "We work with the screen and, for example, we rotate the spheres. And everything in the frame should look harmonious. It is a rather difficult task, but we coped with it."

Yevgenia Pushko, art director of the opening ceremony of the international Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2018: "We decided to use the concept of warmth, openness of the Belarusian people, that we are all connected and we are united by this great holiday."

The draw will take place during the official opening ceremony of the competition, according to the rules of the European Broadcasting Union.
