Belarus bought 80 thousand tons of Norwegian oil delivered through the port of Klaipeda on the Lithuanian oil refinery "Naftan", told RIA Novosti the representative of the Belarusian state concern "Belneftehim".

According to him, the supply of oil through the Lithuanian port is expected in late January.

The spokesman did not comment on the possibility of purchasing the Minsk Norwegian oil in the future.

Earlier Vice-Premier of Belarus Dmitry Krutoy said that Minsk has sent a commercial proposal to the Ukraine, Poland, the Baltic States, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan on the supply of oil instead of the Russian.
