Delegations from Latvia, Slovakia, Germany, and regions of Russia have confirmed their participation. Hotel rooms in the city have been booked months in advance for the May holidays.
“The main celebrations will be held at Lenin Square, including a Victory Day parade and the march of the participants of the ‘Belarus Remembers, We Remember Everyone’ campaign. A ceremony of laying flowers will be held at the Eternal Flame and hero city plaques in Brest Fortress, accompanied by a rally.
