March 17 (Interfax) - The first inspection under the New START may take place in April, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told reporters on Thursday. "The first inspection may take place two months after the signing of the START, as it is said in the treaty protocol," he said in comment on a statement by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. "The inspection is possible in no less than two months after February 5," he said. "It is not necessarily to start the inspection on the 60th day of the treaty validity. The sides will reach an agreement, and there will be no parity in the inspections. Everything depends on the priorities, interests and abilities of the sides to send their inspectors on a particular date," he said. "These are purely technical issues, which will be resolved at the bilateral consultative commission. It will coordinate plans, which will satisfy everyone, in the performance of inspections and other activities envisaged by the protocol. The commission will get down to business soon," Ryabkov said. 12:27 Lavrov, Clinton could meet in May - Russian ministry
