Moscow - APA. Andrey Nesterenko was dismissed from information and press department of Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Alexander Lukashevich will replace Andrey Nesterenko, APA reports quoting Kommersant newspaper.

The ministry has not made official statement on personnel replacements. Kommersant reports quoting its sources as saying that President Dmitry Medvedev was dissatisfied with Nesterenko’s comments on Russia’s sale of C-300 missiles to Iran, which caused his resignation. The official of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated last June that despite UN Security Council’s sanctions against Iran Russia will continue to implement terms of the deal. The diplomat said C-300 missiles sold to Iran were not in category of international restriction. In September, President Medvedev signed a decree imposing ban on this sale. The journalists claim that Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergei Lavrov was recommended to dismiss Nesterenko, who has been working in the information and press department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs since 2008. Andrey Nesterenko may be appointed as Russia’s ambassador in the Republic of Montenegro.


Lukashevich has been working as Russia’s deputy permanent representative in OSCE since 2008. He started his diplomatic carrier in 1980 in Afghanistan. He worked in Russian embassies in OSCE and U.S. He is one of the authors of the European Security charter adopted on 1999 OSCE Istanbul summit.
