MOSCOW, February 17 (Itar-Tass) —— The G-8 summit due to take place in Russia in 2014 is most likely to be organised in Moscow, Russia’s Presidential Aide Arkady Dvorkovich said on Friday.

Reporters asked him whether the recent appointment of Sergei Sobyanin responsible for preparations for the summit mean that the forum will be organised in Moscow, Dvorkovich said: “It is most probable, but the final decision is not in place yet.”

There is still no decision as of yet as to “in what part of Moscow” the summit will be taking place, he added.
