Dear friends!
The history of the Olympic movement in our country is long and glorious. We are proud of the Belarusian athletes, whose names and triumphs are forever inscribed in the victorious chronicle of national and world sports. We admire their courage, fortitude and the will to win. In order to be worthy successors to the previous generations we should show the maximum of our capabilities and the best results at the 2nd European Games. Bright performances and indisputable records once again raise the country on a pedestal of high sport achievements. I am convinced that the focus on success, skills, professional ambitions of coaches and athletes will lead our team to new Olympic heights.
I believe in you, I wish you good health, sport luck and loud victories for the glory of our Belarus!
Alexander Lukashenko
