He also called the president of the country Francois Hollande to discuss possible lifting of sanctions with the German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

'I want to remind that it has been two years since the embargo imposed by Russia has been hanging over us. We should start trading meat, fruits, vegetables and diary products with Russia in a normal way,' Beulin stated.
