Earlier, Lavrov, at a press conference following a meeting of the OSCE Council of Foreign Ministers in Skopje, asked von Namen to quote him correctly.

According to the journalist, the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry allegedly announced the collapse of the OSCE.

Lavrov noted that he knows that in Germany "it is customary for members of the government to chew on journalists what they need to write."

He added that Russia respects journalists and "leaves it to their imagination" how they will present the results of the press conference.
