Lukashenko: dangerous crisis over in Belarusian-Russian relations

MINSK. Jan 14 (Interfax) - Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko believes that the crisis is over in Belarusian-Russian relations.

"I hope the period of crisis in relations has passed. It was an intensive, brief and very dangerous period of crisis," Lukashenko said in answer to a question from Interfax.

"I don't see problems in gas or oil shipments, or in oil transit to Europe. Specific contracts and prices for January and February have been negotiated. They are more than acceptable to us," the Belarusian president said.
