Borodin: Russia and Belarus can introduce common currency this year

State Secretary of the so called Russia-Belarus “union state” Pavel Borodin thinks the governments of the two countries can introduce a common currency this year.

“I think we finally introduce a common currency on the territory of Russia and Belarus,” Borodin said at a session of the Council of Ministers of the “union state”.

“Concerning the final integration of the two states, I can say there is a will of the governments of the both sides, but much depends on the presidents,” Borodin said.
