Euroforum organizers to invite delegates to October Square

The Belarusian European Forum will have to take place on October Square, if organizers fail to get a permission for the venue. Yuras Hubarevich, a deputy chairman of Movement for Freedom, told the European Radio for Belarus as follows: “Today we will begin inviting delegates. If we don't get information about a venue today, we will invite delegates to October Square. We hope that within the next several days when the issue is resolved, we will be able to re-orient people to a new location or will gather them right on the square”.

According to Hubarevich, if no venue is approved, organizers will hold the forum on the square.

The Belarusian European Forum will take place on November 14. Organizers tried to agree about the venue with the Palace of the Republic, the Palace of Sports and other institutions. Their applications were rejected. On Monday, Movement for Freedom leaders met with ideology officials at Minsk City Hall. They were told to resend requests for a venue to the same institutions.
