The money is to have been transferred to the Belarusian budget by the end of 2017. Keison has the right to attribute them to costs of construction of the multifunctional complex near the National Library.

The assistance for the sports facility construction is a kind of a fee for extending the terms of completion of the Minsk’s Magnit construction for 2 years. The object has to be delivered before the end of 2018.
