Lavrov: Russia pays special attention to the security of diplomats during elections. Lavrov emphasized that when a foreign institution opens its doors to Russian citizens living abroad and wishing to vote, the likelihood of provocations increases.
Earlier, the Russian Embassy in Finland asked the authorities to provide increased security during the presidential elections. Russian Ambassador to London Andrei Kelin said that the Russian presidential elections in Great Britain will be held under conditions of increased security. The Russian president will be inaugurated on December 18.
