MOSCOW, May 5 (RIA Novosti) - Latvian Foreign Minister Artis Pabriks is ready to come to Moscow on May 10 to sign a treaty officially demarcating the Russian-Latvian borders if both parties are willing to do so, Latvian Ambassador to Moscow Andris Teikmanis told RIA Novosti on Thursday.
"This question is important for Latvia," Teikmanis said. "Political circles are interested in finalizing the border-settlement process."
The chances of concluding the treaty on May 10 are "50-50," he said.
"We are not ruling out another date," Teikmanis said. "It is important to conclude the process itself. I could imagine the signing may take place on May 18, when the Russian-Estonian border document is expected to be signed."
When commenting on Latvian-Russian relations, the ambassador said, "a lack of mutual trust can be felt." "This happens when there is no real dialogue," he said. "We do not have this, [but] I hope the situation changes for the better."
