Moscow, April 12 - President Vladimir Putin called as correct and timely creation of the Russia-Belarus union state.
He made this statement, opening the meeting of the supreme state council of the union state in a broader format. The president noted that the main task now is to create single economic space.
Putin expressed hope that the Friday meeting would help to make further moves in this direction. The Russian leader pointed to the importance of concerting legislations of the two countries.
The Russian chief executive admitted that not all plans fit into periods, agreed upon earlier. However, he emphasized that adopted decisions are "thought-out, substantiated and take into account the interests of the two countries". "We should not stop at achieved targets or, the more so, should not roll back," the president stressed.
In turn, his Belarussian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko said that the two heads of state, speaking tete-a-tete, thrashed out all pressing problems.
