The Russian presidential staff is conducting no work to prepare amendments to the Constitution, presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
"I can say that the presidential staff is conducting no such work [to draft amendments to the Constitution]," Peskov said, adding that a newspaper article by the Constitutional Court’s Chairman Valery Zorkin is just an expert’s personal viewpoint.
The spokesman recalled that "Zorkin has long led the Constitutional Court and has vast experience, so it is his private opinion."
"No action is being taken at the presidential staff along these lines. No changes are being prepared," RASS cited Peskov as saying.
