It is premature to discuss the venue for a potential meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President-elect Donald Trump, as preparations for this event have not yet begun, Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists.

Report informs via Russian media that he made the remark while commenting on the offers of a platform for the meeting between the Russian and US presidents from various countries, including Serbia and Switzerland.

“Many countries have hypothetically offered their platforms for such a meeting, but it is too early to discuss this as no preparations are underway,” Peskov said.

The Kremlin representative emphasized, “There is a declared understanding and political will that such contacts are very necessary and expedient.”
