No Agreement on Belarus

MINSK -- Belarus and Gazprom have failed to agree on gas prices for next year, Belarussian Prime Minister Sergei Sidorsky said Friday.

Gazprom and Belarussian officials held talks on Thursday in Moscow, where Minsk repeated its offer to Russia to cede some control over its pipeline system in exchange for gas-producing assets.

Earlier this year Gazrpom had said that it wanted to raise prices for Belarus to between $150 and $200 per 1,000 cubic meters of gas in 2007, from around $47 now. (Reuters)
