MINSK. KAZINFORM Russia's Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich is confident that all outstanding disputable aspects of the Eurasian Economic Union Treaty will be settled and the treaty will be signed as scheduled.

"We have agreed practically on all aspects but for some technical ones, which will be settled in the remaining three weeks," Dvorkovich told journalists on Friday. "I am confident we will be able to find solutions acceptable for all member states. Otherwise, there was no point in embarking on this path," he noted, ITAR-TASS said. According to Dvorkovich, the presidents of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan have given instructions on "how to achieve results." He expressed confidence that the Eurasian Economic Union Treaty would be signed in late May in Astana, as scheduled. "I think this treaty is a historic step," he noted. "We began with the Union State (of Russia and Belarus) and the Customs Union (of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan). Now we are uniting into another powerful economic union," Dvorkovich said.
