Russian and Serbian flagsMOSCOW, Mar 24 Serbian concerns will be a priority for Russia, press says -Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the statement of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic regarding the transition to rubles when paying for Russian gas. Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier instructed the government to give a directive to Gazprom to change the currency of payments for natural gas in existing contracts for rubles.
