This decoration creates the impression that a joint press conference of both leaders may take place after the meeting. However, there is no official confirmation of this scenario yet, and everything will depend on the course of the negotiations.
Sources emphasize that the format of the address may change at the last minute: the parties may speak separately or limit themselves to written statements. However, the symbolic presence of flags and double rostrums has already aroused significant interest in the world media, because any joint public appearance of the two presidents will be a high-profile event on the international arena.
