Belarus-Russia oil talks end fruitlessly

To : troika melb

To be quite exact for the time being we export about half of the gas while “only” 60% of the export goes to EU and it composes about 24% of the gas they consummate. With two big pipelines being built towards China I wouldn’t be so aggressive against Russia. Also Turkmenia seems to be tired of the talks about NABUCCO fairy tale and launched pumping annual 30 bln cubic meters to China …

As for our “buffer friends” one should know that Belorussia is quite a special matter. Even more special than the Ukraine. 90% of the folks here know only Russian language. And the difference between the Belorussians (“White Russians”) and other Russians can be seen only under a very big microscope. Same as between the Serbs and the Montenegrins.

So the only problem Russia have to face here is called Luka. And it’s a temporary problem I guess. In 3-4 years when our two Streams embrace Belorussia and the Ukraine they will have no more room for blackmailing us and our brotherhood will revive as Phoenix. We are not to be blamed that they have exchanged cheap gas & oil for their independence.

“If Russia treats its best friend Belarus…”

In Belorussia and the Ukraine we have quite friendly electorate and very hostile elites. For instance Belarus has gas prices about USD 160 per 1000 cubic meters … They also have the lowest oil prices but Luka demands oil not only for internal needs but for re-exporting it to EU. And they insist on VAT free price which will provide them a very big advantage against any Russian company. Naturally Russia restricts such oil supplies and this is what Luka is worried about.

Also I am far from hoping to persuade you in the real goals Russia follows in Serbia. But thank God our brothers have the heads of their own ! Also Mr.Tadic must have advisors outside the B92 forum. Yes we are not Santa Klaus’s younger brother but any Russian government to start harming Serbia will have big internal problems. Most Russians still feel shame for not saving Serbs in 1999. And having the late US puppet in Kremlin does not justify us anyway.

Merry Christmas !

“I hope that Russia will be more and more isolated….”

Ha you never change ! I guess it’s you must be isolated. The last crazy man who offered to isolate Russia was the late President of Geogia Zviad Gamsahurdia. But now that has RIPped off please look at the Globus. Then tell us kindly how the hell are you going to isolate a country with borders of 60 000 kilometers long ?

Also we don’t care much about Moldova. It’s your internal Romanian matter. But I am afraid you are going to meet problems not on behalf of Russia but on behalf of the Moldovans. Otherwise what is stopping you from uniting ? Within last 100 years no countries has united yet and Moldova will remain separate from you. Look at the Arabs , Germans , Russians , Iranians , Pashtoons , French , Magyars , Duthch , Chineese , Koreans , Serbs of all kind ect. Though I personally have nothing against your unity.

Strange every year it is the same problem oil or gas from Russia and in the middle of winter. If Russia treats its best friend Belarus to ransom what hope dose Serbia have or other European countries. Be careful who you hook up with it could be a very cold and expensive lesson. It is better to have a few supply sources and pipe lines you get competition and better service and prices. Instead of a monopoly Russia is after you will get treated with a lot of BS and as yes people to Kremlins whims.

"Belarus-Russia oil talks end fruitlessly"

as close as an index and thumb.

just for info, 89% of russian gas is exported to eu,
that makes 28% of eu imports
;) good for you serbia, great deal to try to "tame" the big brother, im sure you mean much more to them than their buffer "friends"

You forgot to write same as between Romanians and Moldovans.

I am happy that the communist party ( which is supported by Russia) is no longer in power in Moldova.

Now, Moldova can develop closer relations with Romania and the EU.

Apart from Serbia, Belarus and Ukraine, Russia has no allies in Europe. This is very good. I hope that Russia will be more and more isolated. Russia has brought nothing but misery to the countries of Central and Eastern Europe.
