President of Moldova will send his Prime Minister. Serbia will send
energy ministry as most of the other participant states will most
probably do.
The European Union will send the Minister of Industry of the Czech

As regards Ukraine's participation, President Yuschenko will not come
to Moscow. Interfax quotes him as saying that he will not take part in
the summit because Russia, as a conflicting party, has no right to
host such a meeting. Today, prime ministers of Russia and Ukraine
Vladimir Putin and Yulia Timoshenko will meet for the first time since
the start of the gas conflict.
