MOSCOW. June 3 (Interfax) - The authorities in Moscow are not in principle opposed to the idea of holding a meeting of foreign ministers from Russia and NATO member-countries in Greece at the end of June, a diplomatic source in the Russian capital told Interfax on Wednesday.
NATO spokesman James Appathurai told journalists earlier today that a Russia-NATO meeting at the level of foreign ministers was scheduled to take place in Corfu, Greece, on June 27.
"I neither confirm nor deny this information. It is an American proposal. If they put it into practice, Russia will not be against it," the source said.
A meeting of the parties' foreign ministers in Corfu could be held instead of a planned meeting in Brussels in May that was cancelled in response to NATO's military exercises in Georgia and the expulsion of two diplomats from the Russian envoy's office at the alliance.
