Russia-EU summit postponed to Jan 27-28, 2014 - Kremlin aide
MOSCOW. Nov 21 (Interfax) - A Russia-EU summit will take place on January 27-28, 2014, Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov said.
"At the Brussels headquarters' request, this summit has been postponed until the end of January. For organizational reasons, it turned out to be impossible to hold it in the run-up to the Christmas holidays. They proposed the end of January, and we accepted it and agreed upon the dates, which are January 27-28," Ushakov told journalists on Thursday.
This will be a summit for 2013, "which does not rule out that we are supposed to host a summit at the end of the first half of next year and they in December," he said.
Ushakov had said earlier that Russia-EU summits are held once every six months either in Russia or in Brussels, and it is the EU's turn to host such a meeting.
EU-Russia summits in Brussels are usually held in November or December.
