Russian President’s press secretary gives reply to Belarusian leader

The Kremlin has reacted to Alyaksandr Lukashenka’s statement that Belarusian journalists “who cannot stand Russian people” were invited at the meeting with Dmitry Medvedev. Russia indented to see journalists of different views at the meeting – from the leading state mass media and from privates ones, stressed the Russian President’s press secretary Nataliya Timokova.

Representatives of information agencies BelaPAN, BelTA, the Belarusian Broadcasting Company, the ONT channel, newspapers “Narodnaya Volya”, “Nasha Niva”, “Tovarishch”, “Novy Chas”, “Soviet Belorussia”, “KP” in Belarus”, “Republic”, “Zvyazda”, a weekly “Belarusians and Market” and an Internet portal TUT.BY were present at the meeting with Medvedev.
According to Timokova, the conversation was very interesting and pithy. She said that one of the most interesting topics was “development of good-neighborly relations between the two states”. Timokova reminded that Medvedev described the assistance Russia “had presented to its partners in the Union State” in detail with the help of exact numbers, notes BelPAN.

Let us remind you that, talking to heads of CIS state information agencies on November 24, Lukashenka claimed that he considered Medvedev’s meeting with Belarusian journalists absolutely senseless.
