European People's Party urges to boycott Ice Hockey World Cup-2014

This is stated in the EPP's resolution, adopted by the Political Assembly on February 9. The document says that it is unclear why Belarus is to host a sportive event of the world level. The EPP reminds that sport should convey the joy of freedom, pluralism and unity.

In case the decision to cancel the Ice Hockey World Cup in Belarus is not taken, the EPP urges all hockey federations of the EU countries and other democratic states to boycott these games.
