CHERNOMYRDIN EXPECTS YELTSIN-CLINTON
MEETING TO TAKE PLACE AS SCHEDULED IN
MARCH, BUT SUGGESTS IT BE TRANSFERRED TO
EUROPE WASHINGTON, FEBRUARY 4. /RIA
Novosti correspondent Arkady Orov and Alexander
Shishlo/. Russian Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin
expects that the upcoming summit meeting between
Boris Yeltsin and Bill Clinton will take place as
scheduled in March, but he himself will suggest
transferring its site to Europe so as not to create an
additional load for the Russian President, he said in an
interview published in The Washington Post today.
Chernomyrdin noted that if the Russian President
agrees with this proposal, he will convey it to
Washington where the Chairman of the Russian
Government is arriving tomorrow and where he will be
meeting with Bill Clinton and US Vice-President Albert
Gore.
The Prime Minister also said that he is attempting to convince Yeltsin not to be in a hurry and not to work on an all-out scale till his complete recovery. He admitted, however, that the President will hardly take this advice.
