KALININGRAD, May 19. Governor of the Kaliningrad region Anton Alikhanov congratulated Baltika on their first promotion to the Russian Premier League in 25 years.
Football players of Vladikavkaz «Alania» tied with Togliatti «Akron» 0:0 in the match of the 32nd round of the First League, which allowed «Baltika» Kaliningrad to break through to the Russian Premier League at the end of the season. «Alania» with 56 points is third in the table and will no longer be able to catch up with the first «Baltika» (64 points) in the remaining two rounds. Thus, the Kaliningrad team, which has three games left to play, will not fall below second place.
