MOSCOW, April 8 (RHC-Xinhua) -- Russia may lift embargo on farm product imports from Greece introduced last year, Economic Development Minister Alexei Ulyukayev said Wednesday.

"We are going to discuss that topic in details during a meeting held tomorrow between Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras," RIA Novosti news agency quoted Ulyukayev as saying.

Tsipras is paying an official visit to Moscow this week and held talks with President Vladimir Putin earlier Wednesday.

Tsipras' visit to Moscow raised fears in the EU that the West's united anti-Russian front might be breached. Greece has asked the EU to lift economic sanctions against Russia.
