Russian President Vladimir Putin is holding a meeting with members of the government here on Monday. The current meeting with the Cabinet will be the last one for Putin on the top state post.
Putin’s presidential term will expire on May 7. On this day new president Dmitry Medvedev will be sworn in. Medvedev has already stated that he would offer Putin to take the post of prime minister.
The Monday meetings with the key ministers became traditional for eight years of Putin’s presidency. They were held weekly for rare exceptions.
The venue of the meetings became the Hall of the Security Council at the first building of the Kremlin. The Monday meeting is underway at the neighbouring 14th building, but in the hall of the same name – the Security Council.
