A summit involving the leasers of Georgia and Russia is not under consideration at the moment, Special Representative of the Georgian Prime Minister for Relations with Russia Zurab Abashidze said in an interview with the Tbilisi-based Imedi TV company, TASS reports.

While in Prague, Abashidze pointed out that such a summit may take place in the future provided "the most pressing issues concerning relations between the two countries" were put on its agenda.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin said that Moscow did not rule out the possibility of a meeting between the leaders of Russia and Georgia. "Such a meeting may take place," the senior Russian diplomat said.

"However, we need to make preparations so that the leaders can discuss issues and achieve results. We are working on that," he added. According to Karasin, Russian President Vladimir Putin had on many occasions confirmed Moscow’s interest in creating "normal atmosphere for boosting friendly and good neighborly relations with Georgia." "This stance has not changed," the Russian deputy foreign minister concluded.
