The head of the IIHF said he "played with fire and got burned."

IIHF head Rene Fasel told SRF about his visit to Minsk. Tribune writes about this.

- I apologize if that photo is interpreted as my agreement with the events and repressions in Belarus. I must admit: I played with fire in Minsk and got burned. Now it will be difficult to change this opinion.

IIHF Vice-President Kalervo Kummola said earlier that Fasel himself was shocked when photos from his meeting with Lukashenka were leaked to the press.
