Estonia Pledges Peacekeepers if Operation Format Changes

Estonia will contribute to peacekeeping operations in the Georgia?s conflict zones if the current peacekeeping formats are changed, Estonia?s Foreign Minister Urmas Paet said at a news conference in Tbilisi after talks with his Georgian counterpart Gela Bezhuashvili on December 18.

He said that Estonia wants to see a ?really adequate international format? for peacekeeping operations.

?And we are working on this issue with our partners in the European Union… I cannot imagine Estonians not participating in this mission. Estonians of course will also be present here, when this format of peacekeeping forces will be changed,? Urmas Paet said.
