Medvedev to announce decision over presidential bid soon

HANOVER. July 19 (Interfax) - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has said he will announce his plans over the forthcoming presidential election in the very near future.

"As regards what I will be doing, I have already said on several occasions. I suggest that you be patient a bit longer. Just a little bit," Medvedev told a press conference in Hanover.

"I will tell everyone what I will be doing: whether I will be president or whether I will find myself some other job. I hope that my answer will not disappoint you," Medvedev said, responding to a question posed by a German journalist.
