Following insufficient responses from Belarus on joint military exercises with Russia, the Baltic States are calling for a meeting of the Organization for Security and Cooperation (OSCE) members.
Belarusian representatives at an Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) meeting convened on Monday failed to provide adequate answers to questions on joint military exercises held by Russia and Belarus, on the latter's territory. The queries had first been presented by Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania last week and the meeting was called after the initial, written responses had been deemed unsatisfactory.
Reporting back from a meeting of Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) ambassadors in Vienna, Austria on Thursday, Estonia's representative said that while there were plenty of question marks which still need resolving, the overall impression was encouraging and may point the way to further, productive talks.
