Gas Price Offered By Russia To Belarus Higher Than For Germany 17:30, 01/09/2006
Belarus would not buy Russian gas at a price higher than Germany, Alyaksandr Lukashenka stated, answering the questions of journalists in Pinsk. “Russia sells us oil at a higher price than to Ukraine, and gas prices offered for us are higher than for Germany. We shall never buy gas at a price which would be higher than for Germany. The people who were dying in the same trenches with Russians are still alive,” Lukashenka underlined. “We are not against price rises at all, but they must be the same as in Russia. It is stipulated in the Agreement on the union state”.
Lukashenka informed that Belarus has received certain offers for production of oil in other countries, for instance in Venezuela. “If we fulfil this project, we could sell oil there, and make money,” the head of the state underlined.
“Our economy would never collapse, and our people would never be poverty-stricken,” Alyaksandr Lukashenka noted. “We would do everything to compensate additional expenditures, in case they would arise”.
