Medvedev: Putin to Have Complex, Large and Challenging Job
Russia’s President-Elect Dmitry Medvedev doesn’t doubt efficiency of his tandem with Vladimir Putin. Medvedev made the respective statement in the interview that The Financial Times published March 25.
“The government’s job is complex, large and challenging. And it’s completely obvious that it has enough of its own business to attend to. In other words it’s all simple. Russia is a presidential republic with a strong executive authority,” Dmitry Medvedev told The Financial Times when emphasizing the vitality of the work that President Putin is to execute after taking over the PM office.
Development of economic freedoms, social programs and worldwide stability of Russia’s standing are the country’s priorities, Medvedev made clear in the interview with The Financial Times.
Medvedev also specified three highlights for the legal system of the country. “I think that we should move in three directions. One direction is the assertion of the supremacy of the law in our society,” the president-elect said. The second task, Medvedev went on, is “to make sure that every citizen understands not only the necessity and desirability of observing the law but also understands that without such a relation to the law there cannot be a normal development of our state or our society.” Strengthening an active and effective court system is the third priority, according to Medvedev.
Medvedev refused to elaborate on the chance to hold new trials for a few big-named criminal actions, including the Khodorkovsky case. No one is to interfere into the court’s decisions, the president elect emphasized, adding that the awards should be delivered based on the laws rather than on opinions of certain persons.
