Russia pays Belarus for Europe gas transit

Moscow, Russia (CNN) -- Russian energy giant Gazprom has paid Belarus $228 million for delivering natural gas to Europe, the Russian state news agency RIA-Novosti said Thursday.

The payment still falls short of the $260 million demanded by Belarus for transit fees, however.

Gazprom spokesman Sergei Kupriyanov said the payment nevertheless resolved the issue.

"There are no problems that could hamper gas supplies or transit," Kupriyanov told the news agency.
