- The Cabinet of Ministers could review possible scenarios in regards to co-hosting next year's Ice Hockey World Championships with Belarus during tomorrow's emergency Cabinet meeting, LETA found out from the Education and Science Ministry.


Prime Minister Krisjanis Karins (New Unity) explained to LETA that in connection with the recent events in Belarus, he has instructed Minister of Education and Science Ilga Suplinska (New Conservative Party), who is also responsible for sports matters and the organization of the tournament from the state side, to contact the International Ice Hockey Federation to reach a common best possible solution to this situation.


''It is difficult to imagine how we could possibly organize this tournament together with Belarus at the moment,'' the PM said.


Next year's Ice Hockey World Championships is scheduled to be co-hosted by Riga and the Belarus capital city of Minsk from May 21 to June 6.
