NATO should preserve superiority in Black Sea – EP resolution
KYIV: NATO should preserve its general naval and air superiority in the Black Sea Basin.
This is stated in the European Parliament resolution on the strategic military situation in the Black Sea Basin following the annexation of Crimea by Russia, adopted in Strasbourg on Thursday, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
“The European Parliament underlines that NATO should preserve its general naval and air superiority in the Black Sea Basin and maintain its capacity to monitor the area,” the document says.
The resolution also notes the vital importance of the coordination between NATO and the United States as the Black Sea Basin is a key element of Euro-Atlantic security.
In addition, the MEPs call on the EU to support a reinforced OSCE presence and new OSCE initiatives in the region aiming at easing the security situation.
