Gazprom says has yet to sign final deal with Minsk

MOSCOW, Dec 30 (Reuters) - Russia's gas monopoly Gazprom (GAZP.MM: Quote, Profile , Research) said on Saturday it was too early to say that it had reached a gas pricing agreement with Belarus after Minsk said it had clinched such a deal to guarantee smooth supplies in 2007.

"It is premature to say that we have reached a final deal. We have to wait until the final deal is signed," Gazprom's spokesman Sergei Kupriyanov told Reuters.
