MINSK, July 1 (Itar-Tass) - The pumping of Russian oil products through oil mainlines located in the territory of Belarus from now on will cost higher by about 12.7 percent.

The ministry's press service said that the resolution was adopted in accordance with the Belarusian-Russian intergovernmental agreement on cooperation in the use of oil mainlines.
