MINSK, 5 November (BelTA) – The governments of Belarus and Russia are set to submit the draft roadmaps on the Union State integration to the presidents by 1 December, Belarusian Prime Minister Sergei Rumas said on 5 November, BelTA has learned.
“We are working on the draft roadmaps that are to be submitted for scrutiny to the presidents by 1 December. The Union State Council of Ministers will convene on 19 November.

In his words, the discussion on 19 November will involve all the ministers who are in charge of the matters that are left unresolved.
