When did you come to Belarus and what is your status in the club?
Bručić: At the end of January, I arrived from Suduva to Dinamo Minsk and signed a one-year contract.
Is it weird for you to play while football in all other countries is dormant because of the crown? Are you scared?
Bručić: Feelings are mixed because we are the only ones playing. Honestly, it’s a little weird, but there’s no word on the break yet, so we play and train normally. I’m not scared, but I would feel safer if the championship would be postponed until this is all over.
How do the Belarusian media react to the threat of coronavirus?
Bručić: The media do not write or talk much about the virus, they do not want to create panic.
Belarusians have a rather colorful President Lukashenko. Is he announcing the coronavirus?
Brucic: President Lukashenko told people to drink a glass of vodka regularly and go to the sauna and that it would help them against the virus.
It seems that the Belarusians see in this what is now in focus as the only ones playing football an opportunity for promotion?
Bručić: It is a really good promotion because we are currently the only ones in Europe playing and that is why everyone is following us.
Is the family in Croatia worried about you and you about them?
Bručić: The family is not worried because I think that currently the situation is more stable in Belarus than in Croatia.
Are you a little more cautious in Belarus regarding the coronavirus pandemic? Do you avoid shopping malls, cinemas, generally gathering places of a larger number of people?
Brucic: I live in Minsk, the capital and largest Belarusian city with about two million inhabitants. I avoid all places where more people gather, including supermarkets. I go shopping for food and that’s it.
Do you think the virus will spread through Belarus?
Brucic: About 150 people are infected with the virus here, which is not so terrible because almost ten million people live in Belarus.
Have you thought about returning to Croatia in case the coronavirus spreads in Belarus?
Brucic: I think I would stay here if the situation worsens. I would not want to endanger my own or someone else's health by traveling.
