Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the work aimed at deepening the integration of Russia and Belarus continues. According to the Minister, a program of measures to implement the Union State Treaty has been prepared, Eurasia Diary reports citing Balsat News.

“Certainly, there are disputable topics in relations between our countries. They are, as they say, all over the media. Taking into account the high intensity of Russian-Belarusian trade and economic ties, it is natural. The main thing is that we conduct a constructive, professional dialogue,” said Sergei Lavrov.

The heads of Russia and Belarus met twice at the end of last year to discuss and coordinate road maps. But during negotiations in Sochi, and later in St.-Petersburg, no agreements were reached.
