road maps

They need to agree on how to agree

But the Minister of Finance said that the main thing is integration.

Vladimir Putin and Alyaksandr Lukashenka met one-on-one, without ministers

During today’s meeting with Chairman of the National Security Committee of Kazakhstan Karim Massimov, Alyaksandr Lukashenka has made mention of the issues which he is going to discuss with Vladimir Putin in the course of the visit to Moscow on September, 9.

All the roadmaps for further integration of Russia and Belarus are to be agreed by the end of April, rg.ru reports with reference to Belarusian Ambassador to Russia Uladzimir Syamashka.

He added that there were very few things left to discuss.

But they still plan to cancel it in September.

At the time being, Belarus and Russia are not discussing the roadmaps on deepening integration, Belarusian Foreign Minister Uladzimir Makey said on Thursday.

First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on CIS Affairs Viktor Vodolatskiy told RIA Novosti that the introduction of single currency of the Union State of Belarus and Russia should not be expected before 2030.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the work aimed at deepening the integration of Russia and Belarus continues.

Belarus considers it economically inexpedient and pointless to pay bonuses to Russian oil companies in the same amount. Therefore, the government is looking for alternative supplies of raw materials, BelTA informs.

Moscow does not seem to make concessions to Minsk: the decision to suspend the supply of oil to Belarus is an effect of the Russian leadership’s instructions to major petroleum companies, the newspaper Kommersant reports.
