MOSCOW. June 1 (Interfax-AVN) - A meeting of the Security Council heads of the Collective Security Treaty Organization's (CSTO) member-states, which is due to take place in Minsk on Friday, will address ongoing tendencies in the military and political situation in the organization's member-countries and neighboring regions and measures to respond to emerging threats and challenges to collective security.
The session "will also sum up the results of the Kanal, Nelegal and PROKSI preventive and special operations carried out within the CSTO," the organization's Deputy General Secretary Valery Semerikov told Interfax-AVN on Monday.
During a plenary session, members of the Security Council Secretaries' Committee will discuss a set of regulatory and legal acts intended to help form and develop the CSTO's Collective Operative Response Forces.
They are also expected to reach an agreement on a package of documents aimed at creating an effective system of collective measures to counter new threats and challenges. These documents include a CSTO draft action plan to form an emergency collective response system for the period up to 2012, and the organization's draft action plan to set up a collective system to counter illegal immigration from third countries, which is valid for the same period of time.
The meeting in Minsk will also address a draft list of organizations that have been recognized by the organization's member-states as terrorist or extremist and a draft joint action plan to help stabilize the situation in Afghanistan and to deal with threats and challenges coming from this country.
