Gas relations between Belarus and Russia will not go bad once the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) becomes operational, Chairman of the Development Bank of Belarus, member of the Council of the Eurasian Economic Commission Sergei Rumas said at the meeting of the House of Representatives’ permanent commission on international affairs on 3 October, BelTA has learned.

When asked on a possible change in the gas relations between Belarus and Russia with the EEU start on 1 January 2015, Sergei Rumas said that the situation is not expected to get worse.

“When I led the negotiating group to sign the gas agreement, I raised a similar issue. I assure you that there will be no problems in the relations with Russia starting from 1 January 2015. We have agreements on the gas price through 2032, i.e. we are clear on the conditions of gas supplies,” Sergei Rumas stressed.
