Union programs and Belarusian-Russian cooperation to be discussed at talks between presidents of two countries

31 августа 2021

The meeting, as it became known, will be held on September 9.   And as the Ambassador of Belarus to Russia Vladimir Semashko said today, a meeting of the Union Council of Ministers is expected in Minsk. According to the diplomat, road maps for integration can be signed there. Almost all programs have been agreed to date, but there is one unresolved issue - the tariff for transportation of Russian gas. Vladimir Semashko is sure that next year's gas price will remain at the level of 2021, but after that it should be close to the price we have on the border between Russia and Belarus.

The Belarusian ambassador also noted that Belarus may start to receive compensation from the Russian tax maneuver by the end of this year.
