“Moskovsky Komsomolets”: Lukashenka is expected to kneel and beg pardon 41

Russian journalists try to guess under what condition Belarusian milk may return to the Russian market.

Return of Belarusian milk to the Russian market would depend on a range of conditions, head of the Russian Agency for Health and Consumer Rights Gennady Onishchenko said.

According to him, one of the conditions was “giving a full list of enterprises and types of dairy products”.

“Russia will choose laboratories, accredited in Russia, in accordance with the law. These laboratories will give reports covering all characteristics needed for the technical regulations and other normative acts,” Onishchenko said.

However, Russian journalists suppose there may be different conditions of returning Belarusian milk products.

“I imagine how Lukashenka will kneel and beg pardon Putin’s pardon for his rude words,” Aleksandr Minkin, an observer of “Moskovsky Komsomolets” newspaper told in an interview to”Echo of Moscow radio station.

Minkin said to a question whether Lukashenka should apologize to minister of finance Aleksey Kudrin:

“No, he shouldn’t! Kudrin is a function. Putin and Medvedev can be offended. We have two men who take offends. The rest have no right to take offends. They don’t dare. Have you ever seen that an official taking offend and banging the door after eh or she was insulted? Never! They do not have such a feeling. Milk has noting to do with this. As soon as Saakashvili said something insulting about Putin, Georgian wines, Borjomi, rahat-lokum, even dill spoilt. As soon as Lukashenka said something insulting, milk went sour. It happens with these wines, Borjomi, milk, cheese, sour creme at the very second when a leader of the guilty country says something offensive about our prime minister. That’s all. Products show immediate reaction.”

The journalist supposes Lukashenka won’t have to apologize to Putin:

“Maybe he won’t kneel but will just give what Russia wants him to give, these pipes. He must pay something for his rude words. He has said enough for a blockade,” Minkin said.
