Dmitry Medvedev’s conversation with President of the Czech Republic Milos Zeman

Excerpts from the transcript of the conversation:

Conversation with President of the Czech Republic Milos Zeman

Milos Zeman: Good afternoon. We have only met once, as far as I remember – in Prague, where you, as President, visited the Prague Castle and my predecessor, Vaclav Havel, introduced us.

Dmitry Medvedev: Mr President, I welcome this opportunity to discuss some of the current issues, our relations and, of course, other topical issues, albeit briefly on the sidelines of the ASEM forum, especially because so many events have occurred since we have been here in Mongolia.

The declarations adopted at the forum contain a number of important recommendations, which probably affect our fundamental interests as well. I would suggest sharing some ideas about this and certainly about the future of Russian-Czech relations.
