Lukashenka fails to hit jackpot
30.04.2014
The host of the the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council summit tried to look cool on April 29, but didn't achieve what he wanted.
Moscow is not ready to demonstrate generosity for the sake of the creation of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU). Crimea has hit its economy. Another reason is that the malcontent allies have nowhere to escape to from the Russian submarine. They will have to sign the treaty, observer Aliaksandr Klaskouski writes on the website Belorusskiye Novosti.
The Belarusian ruler made a bold remark at the beginning of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council meeting: If the parties are not ready to implement the arrangements, the issue of the EEU should be discussed in ten years.
It was an effective cold shower for the high-ranking Russian guest. Vladimir Putin, who agreed there were some differences and proposed to look for a compromise, didn't look bright in this context. However, the professional KGB officer has his own methods to press on opponents, the politologists says.
