Русия:"Следващият секретар на ОН трябва да бъде западно европеец" - Лавров

Speaking during an interview with Russian TV show "Formula of Power", Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the next Secretary General of the United Nations should be "representative of Eastern European countries", in Moscow, Monday. Discussing the UN General Secretary elections, Lavrov stated that he does not see "anything wrong" if the UN General Assembly receives "a list of several names" from the Eastern European group. The Russian diplomat said that so far there were "ten candidates", adding that there are also several women on the list, which will be sent to the General Assembly. There has been no Eastern European Secretary General at the UN since the creation of the organization in 1945. The UN General secretary elections will take place at the end of 2016.
