Putin to sketch out vision for Russia until 2020

Putin to sketch out vision for Russia until 2020

08 February 2008 11:50 (UTC +04:00)

"It will be a speech on the main focuses for development of Russia between now and 2020," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told AFP.
The address at 1000 GMT will be delivered in the Kremlin to Russiaâ€™s ruling elite, including the full government and all top parliamentary leaders.
The far-ranging nature of the speech underlined that Putin, who is barred from seeking re-election in the March 2 presidential vote and is to step down in May, remains Russiaâ€™s dominant leader.
His hand-picked successor, Dmitry Medvedev, a career lawyer and bureaucrat who has never held elected office, is forecast to win by a landslide in the election where he faces little meaningful opposition.
His main campaign message has been a promise to continue what he calls "the Putin plan."
Putin has said he may serve as prime minister if Medvedev is elected, prompting widespread speculation that the Kremlin master will retain significant influence in years to come. /APA/
