Belarus initiates new gas talks with Russia - Deputy Prime Minister Kobyakov

MINSK. Nov 28 (Interfax) - The Belarusian government has initiated new talks with Russia on the price of the gas to be supplied to Belarus in 2009, said Belarusian Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Kobyakov.

"We have the issue of the gas talks. Belarus is initiating these talks and is hoping that we will reach an agreement," Kobyakov told reporters in Minsk on Friday.

Belarus's initiative was caused by the reduction of the world prices on oil and petroleum products, which determine the price of gas, Kobyakov said.
