This was stated to RIA Novosti by Adviser to the President of the Russian Federation, executive secretary of the WEF Organizing Committee Anton Kobyakov.
"Take, for example, the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, where the BND removed the Germans from the flight, who were traveling to Russia at the SPIEF. Probably, somehow their democracy is not very good there," Kobyakov said.
