“Beltransgas” to be sold by end of June
Russian Ambassador Andrej Surykau has said this.
He has informed at a press-conference in Minsk that the agreement on selling "Beltransgas" will be made by the end of June, interfax.by reports. Surykau does not connect selling of "Beltransgas" with transfer to inner-Russian prices for gas for Belarus since 2015.
The Russian side wants to buy 50% of "Beltransgas" shares for 2,5 billion dollars. Let us remind you, "Gasprom" bought half of the shares of the Belarusian enterprise for the same sum, paid in tranches, four years ago. This time the money is expected to arrive in a single payment.
