The priorities indicated in the budget message of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev for the next three years do not depend on the results of the upcoming presidential elections in 2012. This statement was made by presidential aide Arkady Dvorkovich on Wednesday.

According to him, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin “also said a few words at the end of the president’s speech.” “He confirmed that all the points that were named, all the instructions were given and are being worked on within the government,” Interfax quotes Dvorkovich .

According to the official, Putin “said that all this should certainly be carried out.”

The assistant to the head of state also emphasized that in the current message its authors “did not try to make any revolutions.”

“Everything that is said here is all in the works. There are no absolutely new ideas here, but there are some accents and decisions on certain issues,” Dvorkovich added.

He also said that in July Medvedev will hold a meeting on the topic of moving government institutions outside of Moscow. Dvorkovich emphasized that there are already different proposals on the issue.

In particular, according to him, the president’s instructions will be issued in the near future following the results of the St. Petersburg Economic Forum, “where dates will be designated by which proposals on this topic will have to be submitted.”
