“Plans to launch a direct flight Chelyabinsk - Minsk - Chelyabinsk have been worked out. We have reached an agreement with Russian airlines that are ready to operate such flights. I hope this project will materialize soon,” Alexei Teksler said.
During his working trip to Russia's Ufa, Belarus' Prime Minister Roman Golovchenko has handed over the Medal “For Courage” to Bashkortostan Head Radiy Khabirov.
