The Authorities had to pay off the debt for gas in the amount of more than $ 300 million until 20 October.

Belarus has not yet transferred the payment for gas to Russia, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich has told the reporters.

“We have not signed the agreements, as they have to go through the procedure of the government meeting. So we will discuss them further,” – he said.

Dvorkovich says that Belarus hasn’t transferred the money for the gas, because, according to the agreements, some more documents “on other issues” have to be signed alongside with that, which has not been done yet, interfax.by informs.

“They are related matters,” – the Deputy Prime Minister stressed, noting that Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev will pay a visit to Belarus on Thursday, and, as expected, there will be obtained answers, including the one about the Russian gas.
