Belarus has no contract for oil supplies in February

Belarus has not yet signed a contract for the oil supplies in February, as Russia offers a price, higher than at the world market, Aliaksandr Lukashenka said.

The president suggested that the Russian companies were doing such offers deliberately. According to Lukashenka, the Belarus delegation, currently in talks in Moscow, has been given clear instructions. If the Russian companies ask this price tag, their supplies will be levied with an additional duty during the transit through Belarus, Lukashenka said.
