The press spokesman for the President of Russia, Dmitri Peskov announced the suggestion on Wednesday. "This is the choice of the head of state," said Peskov, when asked for reasons behind Medvedev's candidacy. "The thing is, foreign ministry-level talks between Mr Lavrov and his counter-part from the U.S. [John Kerry] are being held on regular basis. In this situation, we are talking about higher level negotiations," Peskov said.
