Putin links Belarus economic aid to political integration

MOSCOW, Dec 3 (Reuters) - Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on Thursday said further economic preferences for Belarus would depend on the degree of political integration between the two countries in a union state.

'The deeper this integration, the greater the possibility we can move to internal Russian prices,' said Putin in an annual question-and-answer session with Russian citizens.

Putin said Russia had given enough financial aid already to Belarus.
