Russian President Vladimir
Putin and the leaders of 10 other former Soviet republics met in Moldova
this week to fight terror and drugs and drink Moldovan wine. Just
last week, Putin was busy announcing the creation of a Russian DEA; this
week he was working as first among equals at the Commonwealth of Independent
States (CIS) in an effort to improve coordination of joint crime-fighting,
including efforts against "terrorism" and the illegal drug trade.
The leaders met informally
Sunday night, with a few hours of formal sessions Monday morning.
Then leaders adjourned to the Cricova wine cellars near Chisinau to continue
their discussions, the Associated Press reported. Putin reportedly
pushed for a joint anti-terrorism center in Central Asia.
