Arrested Uralkali CEO: My mother calmed down

Head of the Consular Department of the Russian Embassy in Minsk Igor Koryagin has said this.

"He doesn't complain about the health or anything else", RIA Novosti quotes the diplomat. "He expressed no pleas or requests either".

Baumgertner's mother stays with him, but she wasn't in the apartment at the moment of the meeting. "He (Baumgertner) says that his mother calmed down as she stays with her son," Igor Koryagin noted. He added that the diplomats will meet with Vladislav Baumgertner once in two months "if there's no urgent necessity".
