The North–South transport corridor project in the context of foreign economic interests of Belarus by Alexander A. Prikhodko

“…The author concludes that Minsk should not be expected to make significant efforts within the framework of the project due to the fact that: a) the dynamics and volumes of Belarusian supplies in monetary and physical terms to the countries of the «far arc» are unstable and still fairly modest in the total volume of exports of the republic; b) significant additional growth in both the volume and range of Belarusian goods to countries along the North–South corridor is not expected in the foreseeable future, as the thesis of Minsk reaching the limits of the «export maneuver» seems increasingly convincing. …”
