Prime Minister Sidorski explains how Belarus lost 200 million USD

The losses of the Belarusian state caused by the decrease of oil export total 200 million dollars.
The Belarusian Prime Minister Syarhey Sidorski made the statement in Moscow. He is participating in the meeting of the Council of Ministers of the union state of Belarus and Russia, reports Gazeta.ru.

Let us remind you that Russia decreased the export of oil to Belarus at the beginning of 2007. Belarusian oil was not exported during the first five months of the year.

The Belarusian government demanded that “Belnaftahim” should recommence the export in May. However, the issue of access to the pipeline system has not been solved yet.
