Russia and Belarus are 90% integrated, the Economic Development Minister, Maxim Oreshkin said recalling that three weeks ago the level was only 70%.
“I think that now we can say that we have agreed 90% of the document,” he said.
According to the minister, the parties still have to do a lot of work up to 100%. So, one of the most serious steps can be a meeting of the prime ministers of the two countries, which is scheduled for next week.
The head of the economic department stressed that now the discussion is conducted in a constructive and positive way - the parties are discussing the full range of issues in various areas, in particular, industry, fuel and energy and agriculture, RIA Novosti reports.
