RIA NewsThe volumes of state budget financing of the work on the creation of the Skolkovo innovation center envisaged until 2015 will not be reduced, the press secretary of the Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation Andrey Matveev told RIA Novosti.

Earlier, a number of media reported that the Ministry of Finance allegedly intends to cut the amount of budget funds allocated for the Skolkovo project.
