Azerbaijan, Baku / corr. Trend S.Agayeva / "The period of my authority in the position of CIS Executive Secretary will come to an end on 14 June and the decision on my replacement should be made by the Council of CIS State Heads. Let us trust this issue to the presidents," said the CIS Executive Secretary, Vladimir Rushaylo, on 5 June in Baku, commenting on information in the Russian media.

Rushaylo refused to comment on a report in the Russian media regarding the possibility of appointing the former Chairman of the Central Election Commission of Russia, Vladimir Veshnyakon, the position of CIS Executive Secretary.

He said that his current visit to Baku is linked to the preparation of the informal summit of CIS State Heads which is planned to be held during the St Petersburg economic forum scheduled for 10 June.

"The agendas of informal summits are not prepared beforehand, the State Heads may present any questions for consideration," he said.
