Baltic States
In accordance with the agreements between the parties concerned, the Russian Federation withdrew its troops from the
territory of Estonia and Latvia by 31 August 1994. In a letter addressed to me on 26 August 1994
(A/49/344-S/1994/1008), the Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation confirmed the guarantees that the
Russian Federation gave to the Latvian side that the Agreement concerning the legal status of the Skrunda radar station
during the period of its temporary operation and dismantling would not be used to carry out acts directed against the
sovereignty and security interests of Latvia.
At the forty-ninth session of the General Assembly, it was generally recognized that completion of the withdrawal of
foreign armed forces from the territory of the Baltic States would contribute to enhancing stability in Europe and
developing better relations between the Baltic States and the Russian Federation. The General Assembly thus concluded
its consideration of this item.
