MOSCOW, October 4. /TASS/. Transneft has informed Russian oil companies about raised tariff on oil transportation through Belarus, the company’s spokesman Igor Dyomin told TASS.

"Transneft informs that from October 10 the tariffs for transportation through Belarus will change. These changes will be taken into account when making an assignment for payment.
