Il s’agit de la fin des travaux de la commission de délimitation mettant en œuvre le traité de 2007.
The Joint Latvia-Russia Demarcation Commission was established under Article 5 of the Treaty between the Republic of Latvia and the Russian Federation on the State Border of Latvia and Russia of 27 March 2007. The first meeting of the Commission took place in Daugavpils on 23 September 2009.
The issue of where the border should run has not been without problems, not the least of which concerns the Abrene district, formerly a part if Latvia during the first independence period but annexed by the Russian Federal Socialist Republic within the Soviet Union in 1945. It is now known as the Pytalovsky district of Russia and following the signing ceremony, will remain so for good.
Michel Foucher a participer aux travaux d’établissement quand il était ambassadeur de France en Lettonie. Faites moi penser un jour à lui demander de raconter cette expérience pour le projet de publication n° 1 546 534 :)
