Abstract
We discuss predictions for the interaction energy of the fundamental monopo les in gluodynamics. The interaction energy is defined, as usual, in terms of the 't Hooft loop. At short distances, the potential is calculable start ing from first principles. At larger distances, we apply the Abelian domina nce models. Non-zero temperatures are also discussed. The predictions turn to be in reasonable agreement with the existing data, in cases when the com parison is possible.
