We assume that the pulsar in PSR B1259-63/Be binary system injects electrons (and positrons) which lose energy on: (1) comptonization of thermal radiation from the massive companion, and (2) synchrotron process. The γ-rays are produced by these leptons during their propagation in the pulsar wind region and after their isotropisation by the shock region formated in the interaction of the pulsar and stellar winds. From normalization of the synchrotron spectrum, produced in the shock region, to the X-ray flux observed from this binary system near the periastron, we show under which conditions the γ-ray emission should be detected by the planned GLAST experiment.
