Vladimir Putin

Experts meet on Russia’s socio-economic development strategy through 2020

Participants:
“The performance of expert groups must be as open and democratic as possible. Experts should consider all sensible alternatives and proposals. They should not dismiss anything outright without constructive and professional discussion. There should be no room for political motives in the work of expert groups. <…> If the discussion is real, and if the final proposals are subjected to serious debate, there will be more trust in the results of the experts’ work.”
