Ok, so I could extract my areas from a planet.osm with osmosis  but how
could I extract from planet osm Dominican Republic and Russia ? and then
how could I apply diffs ? Now I am downloading the extracts from the
countries and then I am getting differences with osmosis to finally
apply with osm2pgsql. Could I do the same applying planet diffs to a
extract ? I am not sure about that.

Regards
