Peskov

MOSCOW, June 20. /TASS/: Russia and Belarus negotiate patiently their economic disagreements, which will have no effect on their alliance, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in a televised interview on Russia’s Channel One on Saturday.

"It is a country with which, of course, we have some problems on a number of parameters, first and foremost, economic disagreements. It is normal, as the volume and diversity of our ties are so great that it cannot go smoothly. That is why we patiently discuss all the problems together. We are convinced that those problems will have no impact on our relationship of allies in any way," Peskov said.

The Kremlin spokesman added that Belarusian counterparts were currently working in tense conditions during the presidential race.

"We wish them success in holding the presidential election," he added.
