In Moscow the information of some Internet publications, that Medvedev was allegedly discontented with the statements of his assistant, was disproved.

Deputy Head of Kremlin Administration Alexey Gromov confirmed to journalists, that Moscow might publish the shorthand records of the promises of Alyaksandr Lukashenka to recognize Abkhazia and South Ossetia, RIA News reports.

Gromov disproved the information of some Internet publications that Medvedev was allegedly discontented with the statements of his assistant Sergei Prikhodko on this topic and about the allegedly existing disagreements on this issue within Russian governing body.

“The so-called competent source that informed various mass media about allegedly discontent of the RF President with the statement of Sergei Prikhodko concerning the promise of the Belarusian ruler to recognize the Republic of Abkhazia and the Republic of South Ossetia, and also the possibility of publication of the corresponding part of the shorthand records of the CSTO meeting, — is not right and purposely misleads mass media”, — Gromov said, answering to journalists’ question on Wednesday.

“It might be done”, — Deputy Head of Kremlin Administration emphasized, talking about the publication of the shorthand records.

And the source is, understandably, Belarusian, and it is even clear who is incompetent, otherwise he would have known, that the Russian President Administration, other foreign-policy structures follow exclusively instructions of the Russian President, Gromov added.

“And the Prikhodko’s statement was made on direct instruction of the Russian President. It could not be otherwise“, — Gromov concluded.
