On February 7, 2022, French President Emmanuel Macron went to Moscow to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin.
The meeting was an attempt to prevent an escalation of the war in Ukraine. Macron hoped to persuade Putin to drop plans for a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

New meeting, same table
The image of the two heads of state, sitting at opposite ends of a huge white table, went around the world.
Just over two years after the famous photo, Vladimir Putin has again put his white meeting table into use. This time he met the Serbian film director Emir Kusturica.
Kusturica is from Bosnia, but has both Serbian and French citizenship, and has won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival for best film twice, in 1985 and 1995.

Russia friend
In addition to being a director, he is also a musician.
After Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Kusturica advocated that Serbia not impose sanctions on Russia.
In other words, the relationship between Putin and Kusturica is completely different from the relationship between Putin and Macron. It also appears in the photos from the meeting between Putin and Kusturica.
