MOSCOW, September 8 (Itar-Tass) -- President Dmitry Medvedev will
travel to Yaroslavl on Thursday, September 8, to visit the site of
Wednesday's Yak-42 plane crash and then attend the World Political Forum
in that city.
The plane that was carrying the top-rated Lokomotive ice hockey team
in full force crashed seconds after the takeoff in Yaroslavl, killing 43
of 45 people aboard.
Presidential spokeswoman Natalia Timakova told Itar-Tass,"The head of
state has decided to change the format of his participation in the
Yaroslavl Political Forum: Before speaking at the forum the president
plans to visit the crash site to pay tribute to those killed and then
have a working meeting with the heads of agencies."
Emergencies Minister Sergei Shoigu, Transport Minister Igor Levitin,
Investigation Committee Chairman Alexander Bastrykin, presidential
representative to the Central Federal District Oleg Govorun, and First
Deputy Presidential Administration Chief of Staff Vladislav Surkov will
attend the meeting.
Medvedev expressed condolences to the Lokomotiv team's families and
fans and ordered the government to make all the necessary arrangements and
instructed the Investigation Committee to investigate the accident.
After the meeting, the president will attend the World Political Forum
to be held in Yaroslavl for the third time. Politicians and experts are
now discussing the topic "The Modern State in the Era of Social
Diversity". The head of state may make a speech and confer with some of
the forum's participants.
Turkish President Abdullah Gul will be the top guest of the forum.

The Russian president will also meet with UNESCO Director-General
Irina Bokova, who will be visiting Russia in this capacity for the second
time.
"It is planned that Medvedev and Bokova will discuss a wide range of
issues regarding cooperation between Russia and UNESCO in various areas.
Special attention will be paid to the use of achievements in the fields of
education, science and culture for ensuring sustainable development of
mankind, as well as to the holding of the 36th session of the UNESCO World
