According to him, this is still a subject of negotiations between relevant departments and ministries of finance.

“Here is an obvious decision, taking into account a slight delay in terms. We ask you to postpone the start of loan repayments. Plus, we ask that in order not to incur additional burdens, extend the term of this loan and lower the interest rate somewhat, bringing it in line with approximately those contracts that Rosatom has in other countries, ”Krutoy BelTA quotes.

According to him, “there may be a slight adjustment to the interest rate,” however, it’s too early to talk about final agreements.

“The experts still have to seriously work,” he said.

In October 2019, a spokesman for the Russian president Dmitry Peskov said that Moscow and Minsk are continuing negotiations on a $ 600 million loan requested by Belarus, taking into account previously issued funds.
