Premiers of Russia, Belarus to discuss common economic space
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin will meet with his Belarusian counterpart Sergei Sidorsky on Wednesday to discuss common economic space, Putin's spokesman said.
"Putin and Sidorsky agreed to hold a working meeting in Moscow on Wednesday to continue coordinating positions on common economic space," Dmitry Peskov said.
Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan established a customs union earlier this year. The three states plan to scrap their customs borders on July 1, 2011. They will then form a united economic space with common business rules on January 1, 2012.
The common economic space between the three countries is expected to ultimately result in the establishment of a single currency.
