Belarus and Kaliningrad in electricity argument

Belarus has threatened to cut the supply of electricity via its territory to the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad.

The Belarus state power firm Belenergo has accused Russia of delivering electricity to the enclave without a transit fee agreement.

A Belenergo statement has said the company would now have to consider "cutting the unauthorised commercial transit of electricity."

Meanwhile, a dispute over Russian oil supplies to Belarus has not yet been resolved.

Russian oil is still being supplied to Belarus, both for transit and processing, without a new agreement on Russian oil deliveries for 2010. It was to have been signed by the end of 2009.
