"It will take place in due time, it is usually held at the end of the year," the Kremlin spokesman told reporters when asked about plans for the event. "It is still too early for us to sum up the results of the year," Peskov pointed out.

The spokesman added that Putin knows that journalists are waiting for his big press conference.

Putin's big press conference has been held since 2001, and there have been 17 such events.
