Kubilius: government of Lithuania allocated big money to training facilities

Danuta Pavilenene, BC, Vilnius, 20.08.2012.Print version
Lithuanian Prime Minister Andrius Kubilius says that although after London Olympics Lithuania came under severe criticism for its poor sports training facilities, we should not forget that the current Government has allocated considerable funds to sports facilities and it is simply impossible to develop and modernize all of them.

"In spite of the crisis, our Government has certainly allocated big money to the development of sports facilities, compared to other areas. I must say that recently many sports facilities were renovated or built entirely from scratch," says Kubilius.

 

However, the PM has admitted that Lithuania lacks modern training facilities, writes LETA/ELTA.

 

One the other hand, Kubilius says that we still have something to be happy about since soon a modern renovated pool Girstutis in Kaunas city will be opened. A lot of money was invested in this pool in order to renew it and ensure that it meets all the standards.
