Official Minsk, and the entire country with it, are literally frozen waiting for the outcome of the negotiations on the next Russian loan. This is not for the first time ... year after year, from the time when Belarus got its independence, we can observe the same pattern: the Republican government again and again travels to Moscow to beg for money again, gas, oil, markets and technologies. In parallel, in Minsk at the very high level, directors, the banking sector of Belarus, not hiding anxiety, are awaiting the outcome of the next session of the integration "dance" aimed at extracting resources. The tension is extremely high, because as a rule, loans and profits from the processing of cheap energy resources, that haven’t been received yet, have already been distributed and successfully shared before.
