Romanian president Traian Basescu held a telephone conversation with Ukrainian president Viktor Yushchencko, in which they both agreed that the two countries will observe the decision reached by the International Court of Justice in the maritime delimitation case.

Ukrainian president Viktor Yushchenko said Friday, in the joint press conference with NATO secretary general Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, that Ukraine is not a product of the Cold War, but a sovereign state with full rights to form its own security policy.

Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko signed a decree transforming the Serpent Island into a free economic area, official sources in Kiev said Tuesday, quoted by Russian paper Izvestia.

Romanian Prime Minister Calin Popescu Tariceanu said he told Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko that the Bystroye canal matter needs to be solved through international law and community regulations, while a “what’s done is done” attitude is unacceptable.
