"Beltransgas" to be sold only for cheap Russian gas

The first Deputy PM of Belarus Uladzimir Siamashka has claimed this. According to his words reported by BELTA, the agreement on possible selling half of "Beltransgas" shares to "Gasprom" is in fact 100% ready. 


However, Belarus insists that final selling of "Beltransgas" should be connected with signing a new contract for shipment of gas to our country. The current contract expires on December 31 this year. The draft contract for 2012-2014 is under discussion now.
