Russian PM at Chisinau CIS Summit
A meeting of the heads of government of the CIS takes place today in Chisinau. It is the second such meeting in the history of the organization. A long-term economic development strategy is to be passed there, which should prop up the shaky alliance of post-Soviet states. There is another detail that makes today's summit interesting. Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is visiting Chisinau for the first time since 2003, when the plan he had approved for a settlement in Transdniestria collapsed. Kommersant special correspondent Vladimir Solovyev was curious to see if Putin had forgiven Moldovan President Vladimir Voronin yet.
