Hi,
a local news site got a comment from PR service of Belarussian National Standardization Committee that government is currently deciding on the time zone change to follow Russia. The decision is not yet made and I was unable to find any other source or reference at any governmental site, which is, unfortunately, typical.

Sources (in Russian) all cite PR service of Council of Ministers: http://naviny.by/rubrics/society/2014/10/08/ic_news_116_446011/ http://ria.ru/world/20141008/1027480997.html http://news.tut.by/society/418828.html -- / Alexander Bokovoy
