Schröder and Chirac will miss each other

The trilateral meeting of the leaders of Germany, France and Russia will not take place. This was announced by the German Ambassador to Russia Hans-Friedrich von Pletz.

"When Federal Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder arrives in Russia on a short working visit, French President Jacques Chirac will already leave Moscow," he told RIA Novosti.

Previously, there were suggestions that a meeting of the three leaders could take place in Moscow.
