• Russian President Vladimir Putin danced with Austrian Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl at her wedding in the town of Gamlitz on Saturday. 
• Putin brought a troupe of Cossack singers to serenade Kneissl and her new husband, entrepreneur Wolfgang Meilinger.

Putin arrived in a car carrying a bouquet of flowers and accompanied, local media said, by a troupe of Cossack singers booked to serenade the newlyweds - on a stopover on his way to meet German Chancellor Angela Merkel outside Berlin.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
