MOSCOW, November 14 (RIA Novosti) - The CIS heads of government
gathered in Chisinau on Friday to discuss more than 30 issues,
focusing on economic development strategy for the bloc through 2020,
a Russian government source said.
On the sidelines of summit, the Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin
will hold a number of one-on-one meetings with his CIS counterparts,
in particular with Moldovan President Vladimir Voronin to discuss the
Transdnestr settlement and Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko
to discuss Russian natural gas deliveries.
The CIS, a loose alliance of former Soviet states, comprises Russia,
Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Moldova,
Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
Ukraine is a founding and participating country but technically not
a member state. Turkmenistan holds associate status, while Georgia
recently withdrew over the South Ossetia conflict.
