On Tuesday chief of the press service of the state Beltransgaz concern Tatyana Borodich reported to RIA Novosti that the last "golden" butt-joint of the Yamal-Europe gas pipeline was welded. According to her, the "575 km-long Belorussian sector united the Polish and Russian sectors of the Yamal-Europe gas pipeline into a single gas transportation system."
