CSTO TO BE MADE MORE EFFICIENT
AZG DAILY

The CIS summit in Dushanbe has demonstrated that this is no longer
the key structure for Moscow, Kommersant believes. It places its
stake on the Customs Union (CU) and the Collective Security Treaty
Organisation (CSTO), which, as the publication has found out, are
facing serious reforms. The documents on their reorganisation are
already being coordinated.
As far as the Customs Union is concerned the plan envisages the
attraction of Ukraine in the union. The CSTO, on the other hand,
will be made more efficient even if this goes along with losing one
of its members - Uzbekistan.
In Dushanbe, the newspaper notes, many talked about the problems
of the organisation and its insufficient integration. The tone of
speech by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev was different from the
final summit declaration, which included compliments to the CIS and a
life-affirming ending. Medvedev noted that the statements about the
amorphousness and poor fulfilment of the obligations assumed within
the CIS are often reasonable and correct. And he said that the CU
and CSTO are examples of more successful integration projects.
