PARIS, April 29. /TASS/. European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker on Wednesday said his relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin are at a good level.

In an interview with the French newspaper Le Monde, Juncker said: "In fact, I have good relations with Vladimir Putin."

Answering a question on what topics Juncker and Putin discuss at talks, the EC president said: "When I hold talks with different people, we do not release a communique in this connection. I can say, though, that I continue to play the appropriate role in current difficult conditions, without trying to cast a shadow on anybody."

"I know what the media is all about. So, this is a good reason not to answer you," Juncker noted.
