Bydgoszcz authorities apologize to Belarusian fans

Let us remind you that the incident occurred at Belarus-Lithuania basketball match on June 25. Security guards made Belarusians leave the stand because they had hoisted white-red-white flags.


According to the Internet edition “Metro”, the Polish official claimed that it was a scandal and promised to avoid such incidents in Bydgoszcz in the future.

Bydgoszcz city administration was a co-organizer of that Belarus-Lithuania match: it allocated one million zlotys for it (about 350 thousand dollars).


According to the Polish mass media, Belarusians may encounter problems with white-red-white flags at the Euroepan Cup in 2012 if Belarus is qualified for it.
