''We are beginning discussions with the IIHF, so that they begin looking into the possibility of re-locating the Minsk matches of the tournament elsewhere,'' Karins explained.
Latvia still wants to co-host the 2021 championship in Riga but, taking into consideration the current situation in Belarus, Minsk cannot be the other host of the championship, said Karins.
"We will urge the IIHF to consider some other country instead of Belarus. If the federation refuses, and if the situation in Belarus does not change, the government could consider Latvia's withdrawal from organizing the 2021 championship," said Karins.
''It is difficult for us to imagine how we could co-host this tournament with Belarus after the recent events in the country,'' the prime minister said.
