MOSCOW, November 30. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s annual press conference, which this year will be combined with the Direct Line question-and-answer session and take place on December 14, will go on as long as it needs to, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

When asked how long the event would last, the Kremlin spokesman said that "the annual press conference and the Direct Line [with Putin] do not have a [specific] predetermined end time; it is always a very long and informative event, one-of-a-kind."

In response to a request to specify where the annual press conference and the Direct Line will be held, Peskov said that the Kremlin "will make an announcement on that when the time is right."
