There will be exits from Medvedev-Putin team - spokesman
MOSCOW. Sept 24 (Interfax) - President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin form a tandem that "has unequivocally demonstrated its unity," though "there are those who disagree with the strategic principles of the tandem," and "they will leave the team," Putin's spokesman said on Saturday.
"The tandem has unequivocally demonstrated its unity. Yes, there may be tactical nuances and differences between them, but strategically they are united. There are those who disagree with the strategic principles of the tandem. They will leave the team," Dmitry Peskov told the Russian News Service.
"There will be a qualitatively new government, something the president and prime minister have spoken about," Peskov said. "There will be qualitative changes, but there will definitely remain some tandem elements."
"It would be incorrect to start an election fever," the spokesman said. "We still have a little over two months to go before the parliamentary elections and five before the presidential election. And, judging by what we can see in the world economy, they won't be peaceful months despite all the readiness of our government to deal with various kinds of turbulences."
