"This is a complicated process, and we have good progress here," Peskov told journalists. "We hope to see positive results in the foreseeable perspective, but within the frames of the mutual recognition."
The presidential spokesman reiterated that President Vladimir Putin as well as members of the Russian delegation at the Group of Twenty (G20) leaders’ summit, which was hosted by Italy’s Rome on October 30-31, stated that "it was really important to speed up the process of the recognition of vaccination certificates."
"It may result in a very important step," Peskov added.
