Lukashenko says Russia could issue Russia-Belarus united money

MINSK, Mar 1 (PRIME) -- The Union State of Russia and Belarus can launch a center issuing united currency in Russia, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said on Friday.

“The main issue is the issuance center (where it will be located). He (Russian President Vladimir Putin) asks me: “Will it be in Minsk?” And I say: “No, in Smolensk,” Lukashenko said.

He also said he would consider building the center in St. Petersburg.
