- The British Parliament has proposed a solution to the problem of militarization of the Baltic Sea
Western countries and the Russian Federation need to create an Arctic Council-type structure in which all the countries of Northern Europe can work. Richard Balfe, a member of the House of Lords of the British Parliament, told Izvestia about this.
"Ideally, we need to create a structure within which we can all work. To a certain extent, the Arctic Council serves as a possible starting point. But most importantly, we need to create an institutional framework that everyone will respect. It may well include a promise not to conduct NATO exercises in the Baltic states in exchange for border guarantees from all of the above-mentioned states. As well as a mutual agreement not to interfere in each other's cable networks and other marine infrastructure," the politician told Izvestia.
The fundamental need is to create an institution based on trust. In this way, measures to build mutual trust will become a way of life rather than an aspiration, and the risk of collision will be minimized and eventually eliminated, concluded Lord Richard Balfe.
