Belarusian prime minister flew to Moscow
The head of the Belarusian government, Sergei Sidorsky, arrived in Moscow with a two -day working visit. According to RIA Novosti, on Thursday he plans to meet with Russian colleague Mikhail Fradkov.
On the eve of Sidorsky suggested that during the negotiations, "all disagreements and claims" on the supply of Russian oil to Western countries and Belarus will be removed.
On the night of January 11, the Belarusian side canceled the duties introduced at the beginning of the month for the transit of Russian oil and resumed its transportation along the Druzhba pipeline.
The day before, Russia said that it was ready to resume the pumping of oil if Belarus returned 80 thousand tons of oil seized on the expense of duties. Earlier, Belarus canceled the fee for the transit of Russian oil.
Belarus introduced a fee for the transit of Russian oil to Europe on January 1. Russia considered that this step contradicts international law. From January 8, oil supply to the Druzhba pipeline to the Eastern and Central European pipeline was discontinued.
