Unofficial translation from Russian
PRESS RELEASE
A conversation took place on July 7 between Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Alexander Saltanov and the Ambassador of the Republic of Austria to Moscow, Martin Vukovich.
Certain pressing issues in international and regional politics were examined, primarily the situation in Middle East settlement in the context of the latest events that have led to mounting tension in Palestinian-Israeli relations. Saltanov informed Vukovich of the efforts being exerted by Russia with the aim of helping stabilize the situation as soon as possible and resolve the crisis by political methods, especially in light of the visit to Moscow a few days ago of Israeli First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Tzipi Livni.
