RIGA. Jan 17 (Interfax-AVN) - Latvia will not include any declarations on territorial claims to Russian in a bilateral border treaty, Latvian Prime Minister Aigars Kalvitis said.
Latvia will refer to the 1991 constitutional law on the status of Latvia, the prime minister told journalists after a meeting of the coalition council.
Russia refused to sign a border treaty with Latvia in May 2005 after the Latvian government unilaterally included a declaration with a reference to the 1920 Russian-Latvian peace treaty which gives the control of the Abrene community and six adjacent districts, now included in the Pytalovo district of the Pskov region, to Latvia.
