Chairman of the State Council of the Republic of Crimea Vladimir Konstantinov told reporters about this on Wednesday.

Today we are adapting to specific managers who can organize this game process today,” Aksenov said, in particular, on the air of State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company “Crimea” on July 31.
