Gas talks between Russia and Belarus end without result

Gas talks between Russia and Belarus ended without result on Saturday.

Speaking after the talks with Belarusian Energy Minister Alexander Ozerets, Gazprom President Alexei Miller indicated that Belarus owes Russia about 200 million dollars in gas debt since the price Minsk has been paying for Russian gas supplies since the beginning of the year is different from that stipulated by the contract and was set by Belarus on a unilateral basis.

Belarus claims it owes nothing.

President Medvedev gave Minsk until June 21st to repay the gas debt.

Otherwise, he said, Moscow will cut the supplies.
