.Medvedev to meet with King of Spain, open Year of Spain in Russia.
MOSCOW, February 24 (Itar-Tass) - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev
will arrive in St.Petersburg on Thursday to meet with King Juan Carlos I
of Spain, who will make a working visit to Russia.
On Thursday evening, Medvedev and the Spanish monarch will meet at
dinner. Their talks, as well as the meeting between representatives of the
business circles of the two countries, are scheduled for Friday.
Also on Friday, the president and the king are planning to take part
in the opening ceremony of the Prado in the Hermitage exhibition that will
launch the Year of Spain in Russia and Year of Russia in Spain yearlong
cultural festivals.
The Prado in the Hermitage (25 February to 29 May 2011) will present
in Saint Petersburg a group of 66 paintings from the Spanish, Italian and
Flemish Schools that will allow Russian visitors to appreciate the
historical and artistic importance of the Prado's collections. At the end
of this year, the Prado will present Treasures from the Hermitage (8
November 2011 to 26 March 2012) with 170 items (including classical art,
decorative objects, paintings, sculptures and drawings) borrowed from the
Hermitage. They will in turn reveal the variety and scope of that museum's
collections, which covers the period from the 5th century BC to the 20th
century.
The programs of the reciprocal cultural festivals include guest
performances by the Bolshoi and Mariinsky Theaters, the National
Philharmonic Orchestra led by Vladimir Spivakov, the National Ballet of
Spain, Spain's national theatre, etc.
Spain's Foreign Minister Trinidad Jimenez said although the two
countries have rather developed political and cultural ties, there is a
high unrealized potential in their economic and trade relations, which
should be rectified this year.
In Spain, Russia will display its innovations and developments, run
Aerospace Week, while in Moscow, the Life and Innovation exhibition will
be staged at Manezh.
Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Zhukov who heads the Russian part of
the intergovernmental economic cooperation commission noted that Russia
was interested in high technologies which Spain develops in various fields
- from railway transport to energy conservation.
"We're very much hoping that the Spaniards will find their interest in
Russia and invest in its economy, especially in know-how," he said.
Jimenez reminded that Spain is one of the largest investors in
telecommunications, banking and infrastructure projects of Latin America
and China. The minister noted that Spain might use the opportunity to
invest in these sectors in Russia.
The main economic event in the dialogue between the two countries will
be Spain's participation as special guest at the St.Petersburg economic
forum. The Spanish delegation will be led by Prime Minister Jose Luis
Rodriguez Zapatero.
Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Zhukov suggested a friendly between
the national football teams during the St.Petersburg forum. He said he was
hoping that Spain, the current champion, would respond to this proposal.
The two countries will end their cultural festivals by the gala
concert in Madrid on December 5, 2011, during the Russian president's
visit to Spain.
The Russian president last made a state visit to Spain in March 2009.
Medvedev first met with Juan Carlos in June 2008.
Judge's aide suspected of forging court's decisions.
MOSCOW, February 24 (Itar-Tass) - An aide to a judge at Moscow's
Kuntsevo district court is suspected of forging court's decisions,
spokeswoman for the Moscow City Court Anna Usachyova said.
A service check was carried out on Nadezhda Sakharova in November
2010, after a man requested to clarify the decision by judge Lyubov
Sergeyeva on real estate ownership. The man attached to his statement a
copy of the court's decision with the signatures of the judge and the
court's secretary judge's signature.
"A check ascertained that in July 2010, judge Sergeyeva passed the
decision not to review the statement, but the judge's aide drew the
decision on behalf of the judge to meet the man's request," Usachyova said.
The applicant party then requested the city registration service to
file his right to participatory share on the strength of the Kuntsevo
court's decision. But the procedure was suspended as judge Sergeyeva
intervened.
In this connection, Moscow City Court chairwoman Olga Yegorova told
director of the city department of the Investigation Committee Vadim
Yakovenko that "the above facts affect the groundwork of Russia's judicial
system; they require a thorough check where none of the culprits would
avoid just punishment."
"I request to launch a comprehensive check into the above facts and
open criminal proceedings n the event of evidence pointing to the signs of
crime," Yegorova said in her letter to the SK official.
A law-enforcement source told Itar-Tass that Sakharova had forged a
number of the judge's decisions. She confirmed disability of two women,
arrested a debtor's property, registered tenants in a disputed apartment,
and overruled her superior's decision. A criminal case over forgery has
been opened against her, according to the law-enforcement official.
