ST. PETERSBURG, May 28 (Itar-Tass) -- The supreme body of the Customs Union bringing together Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan that is due to meet here on Friday will be convened in any case, spokesman for the Russian prime minister Dmitry Peskov said.

"Indeed, we have the information that Prime Minister Sidorsky (Belarusian Prime Minister Sergei Sidorsky) cannot participate in a meeting today. Meanwhile, at the present moment Kazakhstan confirmed its participation, and the meeting will be held in any case," Peskov said.
