Threatening to increase the gas prices, Russian Prime Minister asked  EEU countries not to slow down thje integration process

ArmInfo. The exit from EEU  contains the threat of unavoidable gas price increase for  EEU member  countries, Russian Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev stated on Tuesday  at the session of Eurasian Intergovernmental Board Session.

"Let's talk  in an open manner - if some countries presented here,  were not members of EEU or left it, they would by the gas at European  prices. And there is no need to prove anything or to make calculative  exercises  - everything would be much more expensive," Russian Pime  Minister said

Asking the member countries not to slow down the integration,   Medvedev said that he will not force anyone to stay in EEU. 

The EEU includes Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.
