MOSCOW, August 21./ITAR-TASS/. The proposal by a European parliament deputy chairman to exclude the Russian ruble from the international financial system holds no chances, Russia’s parliament Speaker Sergei Naryshkin said on Thursday.

European Parliament Deputy Chairman from Poland Ryshard Charneckij proposed on Wednesday to exclude the ruble from international financial settlements and make it an unconvertible currency over Russia’s stance on developments in neighboring Ukraine.

“This proposal holds no chances for its implementation. Such statements speak about the degree of the author’s political irresponsibility and the level of his intellect,” the Russian parliament speaker said.
