Russian parliament to urge NATO, OSCE to discuss US missile shield deployment in Europe

Russia's State Duma will urge the parliamentary assemblies of NATO, OSCE and some national parliaments to intensify dialog over the US missile shield deployment in Eastern and Southeastern Europe, according to a draft resolution posted on the Duma's electronic database on Tuesday.

"State Duma deputies are turning to their colleagues - parliamentarians of the member states of the OSCE, NATO, the people's skupstina of the Republic of Serbia, the skupstina of Montenegro, the parliamentary assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the assembly of the Republic of Macedonia with a proposal to step up direct dialog as part of bilateral parliamentary contacts, and also in the Parliamentary Assembly of the OSCE over the deployment of US missile shield systems on the territories of East European countries and the policy of NATO expansion in Eastern and Southeastern Europe," the draft document says.

According to the authors of the document - deputies of the State Duma Committee for International Affairs, this is "a dangerous line actually aimed at unleashing a new cold war rather than at defense."
