Putin, Lukashenka Meet for Tête-à -tête in Minsk Presidents of Russia and Belarus agreed on Friday that Belarus will get a loan of $1.5 billion to pay higher price for Russia's natural gas. Kommersant's special correspondent Andrei Kolesnikov believes that can be viewed as news, considering the complete absence of political intrigue when not a word was said about the Russia-Belarus Union State. Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived to Minsk at 9:30 p.m. Moscow time on Thursday. Belarusian Prime Minister Sergei Sidorsky met him. According to protocol, the PM was to take Putin to Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenka's residence for dinner, after which Lukashenka wanted to offer traditional Russian banya to Putin, as some sources said. Although the history of their long-term fruitful political and economic relations would rather suggest a blood bath instead. However, instead of the cultural program, Sidorsky took Putin to the airport building to talk, which was a g

Russia's natural gas will be supplied to Belarus in the first quarter of 2008 at the price of $119 per 1,000 cubic meters, a high-placed source in the Russian energy giant Gazprom said Saturday."Despite earlier agreements on the price for Turkmenistan's natural gas at $100 [per 1,000 cu m], it will be purchased at $130 in the first half of 2008, while Russian natural gas will be supplied to Belarus at $119," the source said.On January 1, Russia raised the price of its gas supplies to Belarus to $100 per 1,000 cubic meters from $46.7 in 2006, which sparked an energy dispute between the two countries and triggered more accusations in Europe that Russia is using oil and gas as a political weapon."Thus in reality, we are preserving a privileged level of energy carriers supplies to Belarus," he said adding that currently the price on the Russian natural gas for Belarus is the lowest in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).The source also said that Belarus confirmed its readiness

Netherlands vs. Bulgaria, 1430 ESTAmsterdam Arena - AmsterdamA win here for the Dutch puts them in a decent position to advance. Playing at home and having one of the best squads in the world, you've got to think they'll pull it off, but with the Oranje, you never know. They were unimpressive in their recent loss to Switzerland, but it was only a meaningless friendly. Before that they were unbeaten in their previous 11 including three straight wins on the road. Last but not least, they are relatively healthy and boost an attack that could probably score if you gave the opposition 13 players.Bulgaria is not without their stars either as Dimitar Berbatov and Martin Petrov can at times carry a squad, but even against the sometimes lackadaisical Dutch defense, I don't think they'll have enough here. Maybe if Valerie Bujinov wasn't hurt I'd give them a chance, but he is, and they'll lose, 0-2.Belarus vs. Romania, 1200 ESTDinamo - MinskAs long as Romania is healthy, they should at

The European Commission on Wednesday urged Russia and Belarus to seek an amicable solution to their latest dispute over energy supplies, which could also affect gas deliveries to western Europe. The Russian gas monopoly Gazprom said it would reduce gas supplies to its neighbor by 45 percent beginning on Friday due to outstanding Belarusian debt after a doubling of gas prices had caused Minsk to fall $456 million (333 million euros) behind on its payments in recent months."We take this development very seriously," EU Commission spokesman Martin Selmayr told reporters Wednesday.Minsk and Moscow should resolve their dispute without delay and create conditions for the timely resumption of deliveries, he said.If needed the commission could convene a meeting of a European Union "gas coordination group" to study implications the row could have on energy supplies to the 27-nation bloc, Selmayr said.Subsidized pricesAbout one fifth of Russian gas exports to Europe transit Belarus, but western
The supplies of Russia’s natural gas to Belarus will not be reduced so far. Gazprom received on Friday the first $190 million out of the $456.16 million which Minsk owes for gas। The remaining sum is to be transferred to Gazprom next week. Meanwhile, Washington expressed deep concern over the Moscow-Minsk gas standoff. At 10:25 a.m. on Friday, $190 million came to Gazprom’s account in Gazprombank. It is the first tranche of Belarus’ debt of $456.16 million. The remaining sum is to be transferred to Gazprom next week. Gazprom confirmed on Friday that the supplies of Russia’s natural gas to Belarus will not be reduced so far. However, Gazprom’s spokesman Sergei Kupriyanov said that if the remaining money fails to come next week, the Russian monopoly will reduce gas supplies to Belarus by 30 percent. Meanwhile, Washington expressed deep concern over the Moscow-Minsk gas standoff. Tom Casey, deputy spokesman of the U.S. Department of State, said: “What we'd like to see

OAO Gazprom, Russia's natural-gas exporter, said it received a ``significant part'' of a $460 million debt owed by Belarus, averting a supply cut to the country. Gazprom will put off a 45 percent decrease in deliveries scheduled for today, giving Belarus one week to pay the rest, the state-run company said in an e-mailed statement. Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said yesterday his country would repay the debt with help from Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and ``Western banks.'' Belarus transferred $190 million this morning, the Interfax news service said, citing the deputy head of Belarus pipeline operator OAO Beltransgaz. Gazprom may still reduce deliveries next week by 30 percent, in proportion to the payment it receives, company spokesman Sergei Kupriyanov told Ekho Moskvy radio station today. Gazprom has threatened to cut gas shipments to Belarus twice in the past year. Belarus's debt ballooned after Gazprom doubl

Venezuela podría salir al rescate financiero de Bielorrusia, país que tuvo que recurrir a sus fondos de reserva para pagar la deuda de gas que tiene con Rusia.Este viernes, justo cuando se cumplía el plazo para pagar la deuda de US$456 millones a la estatal rusa Gazprom, el presidente Alexander Lukashenko ordenó pagar US$190 millones.Así, Bielorrusia pudo evadir el peligro de ver reducido casi a la mitad el suministro de gas que recibe de Rusia. Al hacer el anuncio del pago, el presidente bielorruso, Alexander Lukashenko, manifestó que "otros países como el del presidente Chávez, así como bancos comerciales están preparados para venir al rescate".Aún no hay confirmación venezolana de préstamo alguno. Sin embargo, Bielorrusia y Venezuela mantienen muy buenas relaciones. En junio pasado, el presidente Hugo Chávez visitó a Bielorrusia, donde dijo que esperaba crear una alianza estratégica con ese país.Incluso llamó al mandatario Alexander Lukashenko "hermano en armas".Fu
Gazprom officials will head to Minsk on Wednesday for a new round of talks on Belarus' gas debt, the company said Tuesday. The two sides failed to reach agreement in Moscow on Tuesday as a delegation led by Belarussian Energy Minister Alexander Ozerets asked for more time to make a $450 million payment for gas deliveries, Gazprom spokeswoman Tatyana Golubovich said Tuesday. Gazprom is negotiating a fine for late payment, Golubovich said. Belarus missed a payment deadline Monday. Valery Golubev, the deputy CEO leading the talks for Gazprom, is scheduled to attend a shareholders meeting of Beltransgaz, the Belarussian gas pipeline firm, in Wednesday on Minsk. Golubev will likely be elected to Beltransgaz's supervisory council at the meeting, and "talks will continue after that," said Andrei Zhukov, a spokesman for the Belarussian Energy Ministry, Interfax reported. Later this month, Belarussian Prime Minister Sergei Sidorsky may come to Moscow to negotiate a raft of issues, including t

Question: What concrete steps is the State Department engaging in to advance the release of political prisoners and promote human rights in Belarus?Answer: We take every opportunity to urge the Belarusian authorities to free all persons jailed on politically motivated charges. President Bush reinforced this commitment to the people of Belarus in his 2007 State of the Union message. Within the last year, the United States has taken numerous measures to pressure Belarusian President Lukashenka to release political prisoners.This week, the Department of State met with a delegation of Belarusian opposition political leaders and civil society activists to discuss further steps that the United States might take to support the defenders of freedom and democracy in Belarus. This delegation included Irina Kozulina, the wife of Belarusian political prisoner Aleksandr Kozulin, and Serhei Matskevich, a former political prisoner.In January 2007, President Bush signed into law the Belarus Democracy
Belarus: Eviction of Belarus Helsinki CommitteeThe United States condemns the Government of Belarus' decision to evict the Belarusian Helsinki Committee from its offices, a move which forces the closure of the country's most significant human rights NGO. This latest attack by the Belarusian authorities on independent civil society underscores the steady deterioration of the human rights situation in the country. The United States urges the Belarusian authorities to immediately reverse this decision against the Belarus Helsinki Committee and to honor its international commitments -- including the 1975 Helsinki Accords -- to respect human rights and fundamental freedoms.Press Statement, Sean McCormack, Spokesman, Washington, DC.
