Peskov: journalists from unfriendly countries are not accredited to the WEF

“No, journalists from unfriendly countries, just like at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), were not accredited this year”, – answered he to the question of TASS.

Journalists from unfriendly countries did not receive accreditation and SPIEF, which takes place in St. Petersburg from 14 to 17 June. Peskov then declaredthat in the future the decision on the admission of foreign publications will depend on “how they behave.” “Business as usual will no longer exist. We will be ready to accept them, but we will not tolerate such an attitude towards our journalists abroad,” he stressed.

This year WEF will be held from 10 to 13 September in Vladivostok. On September 12, Russian President Vladimir Putin will take part in the WEF plenary meeting. By words Peskov, an “interesting discussion” is expected.

Earlier sources of Vedomosti reportedthat Putin can visit the Far East during the days of WEF. It is assumed that in addition to participation in the plenary session, the head of state has other events planned, including business meetings. Vedomosti’s interlocutor did not specify whether Putin plans to meet with foreign leaders.
