The Day of “Separation”

2nd April 1996 Belarus and Russia signed an agreement about “creation of union state”. Now this day is called the Day of a unification of Belarusian and Russian peoples. In this year the celebration will be damaged by some factors. 

The first factor: Belarus else has not recognized independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Minsk puts off the final decision and is not going to do it in the near future. 
The second factor: Russia refused to give 100-billion’s credit to Belarus. It means that Moscow waits strong actions from Belarus. 
The third: By-turn Belarus switched off the Russian international TV-channels. It can make worse relationships between the countries.
