Putin: government reshuffles to follow inauguration

Russian President Vladimir Putin said that government reshuffles will follow the inauguration.

"As a matter of fact, all government reshuffles are carried out by the president after taking office. So, I will think what is to be done and how it is to be done. All reshuffles will take place after the inauguration," he said.

"As for the prime minister and the government in general, naturally, I am thinking about that. I am beginning to focus on that from today, since we have to wait the election results. But all reshuffles will be announced after the inauguration," TASS cited Putin as saying.
