Russia denies rumors about Putin’s visit to Serbia

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin’s Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov has denied that Putin will visit Belgrade in late October.

“Prime Minister Putin is not coming to Belgrade in the end of October,” Peskov pointed out.

There were rumors in the Serbian media that the Russian prime minister would for the second time in seven months visit Belgrade on October 22 or 23.

Russian journalists said Monday they had neither official nor unofficial information that Putin could visit Serbia, pointing out that the information had come as a surprise since Serbian President Boris Tadić’s visit to Moscow had been announced.
