Belarusian Prime Minister Roman Puzzchenko called the deadlines for the formation of allied programs with Russia in an interview with the Belarus 1 TV channel, RIA Novosti reports. According to him, the process will be completed in the coming months.
“In fact, it is already about the coordination of technical moments,” explained Golzchenko. According to him, he is constantly in contact with his Russian counterpart Mikhail Mishoustin, also actively work on this issue and deputies of both premiers. He added that the meetings pass “practically weekly.”
previously became known that Belarus is going to complete economic integration with Russia by January 1, 2022. In particular, it is planned to create general markets for energy resources and transport, unify tax and customs legislation, as well as go to a single industrial and agricultural policy.
In 2019, when initially planned to complete the integration, a number of protests were held against deepening cooperation with Russia. Then Lukashenko repeatedly declared the need to conduct multi-vector policies and build an independent country. He regularly complied with the “Imperial Spaspie” of Russia, criticizing the project of integration within the framework of the Allied State. The performances continued until the presidential elections in August 2020, when mass protests against Lukashenko regime began.
