Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has turned down an invitation to go to next year's Munich Security Conference (MSC).
While the Kremlin says Medvedev's tight schedule is the reason, the Kommersant daily cited analysts as saying the real explanation is that Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili has also made the guest list.
Kremlin sources suggested Medvedev could attend the forum in 2012, the year of the Russian presidential election.
The most recent forum took place earlier this week near Moscow.
