Sergei Mironov criticizes “Gazprom”’s position on Belarus

The speaker of the Russian Federation Council Sergei Mironov thinks that “Gazprom” has taken a too strict position as regards Belarus.
According to RIA “Novosti”, Mironov said that it was unduly when an economic unit had too much influence on political issues.

Mironov noted that Russia was building up relations “with the sister Belarusian nation” in the framework of the Customs Union. However, such thorny questions should be settled “in a coordinated way, like close allies do it”.
