Russian gas for Belarus will cost $125 per 1,000 cubic meters in 2008 - ambassador

MINSK. Oct 17 (Interfax) - The price Belarus will pay for Russian gas in 2008 will be about $125 per 1,000 cubic meters, Russian Ambassador to Belarus Alexander Surikov said.

"The price could be nearer $125 judging from the situation on the market," he said.

The final price for Russian gas in 2008 will be set in December. A price of $150-$170 per 1,000 cubic meters would be unrealistic," Surikov said.
