Switzerland has criticized recent statements by Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev.
He compared the summit to George Orwell's Animal Farm, praising the Swiss as "clever shepherds."
The author of the article for the NZZ publication, journalist Erich Aschwanden, responded to this.
He described how the Russian politician's attitude towards Switzerland changed.
According to Aschwanden, while President of the Russian Federation, Medvedev visited Switzerland in 2009 and spoke positively about the country.
The article says that Switzerland greeted Medvedev with warm respect.
According to Aschwanden, Medvedev's attitude towards Switzerland has changed significantly in recent times.
Now, as the journalist noted, he openly expresses his dissatisfaction with the country.
Aschwanden explained that Medvedev perceives the negotiations in the Swiss Alps as a personal insult.
Earlier, Medvedev gave a detailed description of Rutte, Kallas and von der Leyen.
