MOSCOW, MARCH 14, 2004 RIA NOVOSTI - Former Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov says he is not seeking public office and would now like to try something different.
He told reporters Sunday that he would decide on a career to embark upon this next May. He said he might well go into business or become a community activist.
Since his dismissal from the post of Prime Minister in February, Kasyanov has been busy meeting with people and "formulating ideas for the future," he said.
