ChainCatcher news, French President Emmanuel Macron held a press conference during his diplomatic visit to Serbia. In a televised broadcast of the visit, the French leader told reporters that he did not invite Telegram co-founder Pavel Durov to France and was unaware of his plans to come to France.

According to the translated version of Macron's response, the French president said: "As far as I am concerned, I am completely unaware that Mr. Pavel Durov would come to France. This is quite normal, as I do not know about people coming to France from all over the world, regardless of whether they hold French nationality."

The French president then reiterated that Pavel Durov's case would be handled by "the independent actions of the French judicial system." France faces widespread opposition from the international community over the decision to arrest Durov, while Macron insists that the decision to detain the tech entrepreneur was not politically motivated.

Previous news reported that, according to sources from the French newspaper Canard Chain de l'Elysée, Telegram founder Durov informed the police that he was supposed to have dinner with President Macron on the day of his arrest.
