Everything is being done to prevent Belarusian products from entering the Russian market - M. Saveliev

June 16, Moscow / Eduard Pivovar - BELTA/. Rospotrebnadzor does not wish to resolve the issue related to the resumption of supplies of Belarusian dairy products to Russia. This was stated today to journalists by Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food Mikhail Savelyev, as reported by a BELTA correspondent. "With each subsequent time, a new problem arises when resolving the previous one," emphasized Mikhail Savelyev. "Everything is being done to prevent Belarusian products from entering the Russian market." The Deputy Minister recalled that the Belarusian delegation had come to Moscow for the second time to resolve the dairy issue. "We are not finding mutual understanding with Rospotrebnadzor," he said. "The first time we waited three days for the head of Rospotrebnadzor to receive us. This time, we were received well at first, and we determined the course of action for the supplies of Belarusian products to begin. Today, we agreed to meet and sign the necessary protocols. However, in the morning, it was announced that our delegation was, for some reason, illegitimate. Although we have all the documents and powers. In the afternoon, no one at Rospotrebnadzor even answered our phone calls. We came here, there's no one, and the only response to our requests to connect with management was: they are unavailable." Mikhail Savelyev stated that the Belarusian side is always ready to resume negotiations and "make a decision at a reasonable pace." "But we will not be an instrument in the hands of certain people," emphasized Mikhail Savelyev. -0-
