    PUTIN SIGNS LAW SETTING TERMS FOR CSTO SECRETARIAT STAYING IN RUSSIA

    MOSCOW, March 22 (RIA Novosti) - Russian President Vladimir Putin
    has signed the federal law On Ratification of the Agreement between
    the Government of the Russian Federation and the Collective Security
    Treaty Organization concerning the Stay of the Secretariat of the
    Collective Security Treaty Organization in the Territory of the
    Russian Federation, a Kremlin spokesperson reported.

    The law was passed by the State Duma on March 9, 2005 and approved
    by the Federation Council on March 11, 2005.

    The agreement between the Russian government and the CSTO on the
    terms of the stay of the CSTO secretariat in Russia was signed in
    Moscow on December 19, 2003.

    The agreement sets the accommodation and working procedure for the CSTO
    secretariat in Russia and status of its staff and governs the legal
    relations between the secretariat and the federal executive bodies.

    Under the agreement, the CSTO secretariat enjoys in Russia the
    status of a legal entity that is not entitled to business. The
    premises of the CSTO secretariat are inviolable and immune to any
    form of administrative or judicial interference, except cases when
    the secretariat relinquishes its immunity on its own.

    The agreement provides for creating political and legal conditions
    for the work of the CSTO secretariat as a most important element
    responsible for seamless operation of the whole of CSTO.

    The CSTO secretariat is financed from the CSTO budget.

    The signatories to the 1992 Collective Security Treaty that was
    transformed to the Collective Security Treaty Organization include
    Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan.
