EU has expressed concern over the abduction of an Estonian police officer by the Russian Security Services near the Estonian-Russian border and calls for his immediate release.
“We are concerned by the abduction on September 5 of Estonian police officer Eston Kohver by the Russian Security Services on Estonian territory near the Estonian-Russian border. Such action by the Russian Federation runs against international law and the principle of inviolability of borders,” the spokesperson said in a statement.
“The EU Delegation in Moscow has been in contact with the Russian authorities asking for a swift resolution to the matter. We call for an immediate release of Mr Kohver and his safe return to Estonia,” the statement added.
