In February 2019, Russia offered Belarus to transfer 95 percent of its powers to the supranational level in the integration. Details of the plan revealed the Belarusian Ambassador to Moscow Vladimir Semashko, reports owned by Grigory Berezkin RBC.
The diplomat called the Russian proposal a complete “hands up.” According to him, the document proposed to give everything up, leaving Minsk a few of the items, for example, the right to call law enforcement by the police, not the police.
Also Semashko believes that the decision of a single currency of Russia and Belarus need to take into account the opinions and equality of both parties. The tax and customs laws can only be unified, not written “under a carbon paper”, he said.
At the beginning of March Belarus has suspended the work on the roadmaps for the integration with Russia over the unresolved issue of oil supplies. They planned to sign in December 2019 for the 20th anniversary of the Treaty on establishing the Union state, signed in 1999.
