Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev welcomes the election victory of Barack Obama.

"Obama is an understandable and predictable partner," Medvedev told reporters. "Obama has been a quite successful president."

He said he was glad that Republican contestant Mitt Romney, known for his anti-Russia statement, had lost the election.

"I am glad that the man who calls Russia it's No. 1 foe will not be the president of this large and influential state. That is paranoid," the Russian prime minister said.
