Discussing with the participants the proposal, Medvedev did not support the idea.
“To be honest, don’t like the idea of state corporations. I don’t like her either. So I this idea to support will not. Because we need normal private travel Agency rather than a government monsters that are impossible to understand, which includes different assets and that it is not clear who will be managed. I believe that in the case when the public Corporation need not, it is better not to do it”, — said Medvedev.
