This follows from the agenda of the CEC meeting dedicated to the issues of registering self -nominated, which is scheduled for December 18. One of the points of the agenda is "a refusal to register a group of voters created to support the self -nomination of Eduard Veniaminovich Savenko as a candidate for the position of president of the Russian Federation, and its authorized representatives."
