Russia has
granted consent to the date and venue of negotiations on the functioning of its
Black Sea Fleet on the territory of Ukraine, the Russian Embassy press service
reported.
The
negotiations were initiated by Ukraine with the official delivery to Russia of
technological patterns for border and other kinds of control of the fleet
personnel and equipment.
Ukrainian Foreign
Affairs Ministry spokesman Leonid Osavoliuk explained
to Russian embassy counselor Vsevolod Loskutov the mechanism of that control, calling for steady
observance of the procedure by the BSF.
