Medvedev’s indulgence in gas supplies
Russian President Dmitrii Medvedev has discussed gas supplied to Belarus with Alexei Miller, head of “Gazprom”.
In Medvedev’s opinion, it is necessary to take the existence of the Customs Union into account when preparing a new gas contract with Belarus. It is also necessary to remember that “Gazprom” is going to buy the other half of “Beltransgaz”’s shares.
RIA “Novosti” reports that Miller has informed that the draft of the intergovernmental agreement about the purchase of “Beltransgaz” and the corporative contract for this purchase “are in commission”.
Let us remind you that the official Minsk has connected the agreements concerning “Beltransgaz” with the new contract terms of gas supplies to Belarus. Russia has been refusing to see any connection between the two contracts until recently.
