Print Debt of Belarus for Russian gas deliveries reached $ 270 million, said Minister of Energy Alexander Novak in an interview with Reuters. “The negotiations were held between the Prime Ministers have been instructed to continue talks in the coming days and compromise our position that debts must be paid.” – Said Novak.
Belarus does not recognize the debt to Russia for gas, declaring the injustice of the current contract price ($ 132.77 for 1 thousand. Cu. M). Energy Minister of Belarus Vladimir Potupchik said earlier that the calculation on the basis of equal country would have to pay $ 73 per 1 thousand. Cubic meters. m.
Russia insists that before removing the differences Belarus should pay according to the terms of the contract. Debt is growing, but Belarus does not pay. Disagreements between the parties led to the fact that Russia in the III quarter has reduced the quota for oil supplies to Belarus by 40%.
Another contentious issue in the negotiations with Belarus is the price of oil imported from Russia. “Our Russian companies now are actively negotiating with the” Belneftekhim “talks about the processing complex, because of the need to negotiate the price of processing, as well as the values of the output of oil products.” – Said Novak.
The amount and terms of Russian oil supplies to Belarusian refineries will become clear after the talks between Minsk and Moscow.
The supplier of Russian gas to Belarus is “Gazprom Transgaz Belarus” (formerly “Beltransgaz”, “Gazprom” bought in 2011). In May GTB appealed to the International Arbitration Court at the Belarusian Chamber of Commerce a claim for underpayment of Belarusian state-owned enterprises for gas.
