Kremlin denies Belarus merger plan
Russian President Vladimir Putin has met the Belarussian leader, starting a visit that was closely watched for signs the two ex-Soviet neighbours were advancing towards a long-discussed merger.
The creation of a single state could allow Mr Putin to become the leader of a combined Russia and Belarus after he steps down from the presidency next May.
The Kremlin moved to quash talk of such a possibility, denying that Putin's talks with Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko and other officials in the Belarussian capital Minsk would touch upon a draft constitution that would describe the structure of a unified country's government.
