Sholban Kara-ool, chairman of the Supreme Khural, and Samoilov Mongush, leader of the "Yedinstvo" faction in the Tuvan Parliament, have been received in Gosduma (Moscow) by Vladimir Pehktin, head of the "Yedinstvo" faction in the Federal Parliament. In the course of the conversation Vladimir Pehktin confirmed that the "Yedinstvo" would support the republic in defending its budgetary interests. This statement on the part of the leader of the most numerous faction in Gosduma (Russian Parliament) has a significant meaning for Tuva as the Russian Parliament now is preparing for the 3d reading of the Federal budget which should define the amount of federal donations to all the regions of Russia
