(C) Shortly after sending reftel, Charge received a call
August 29 from Latvian MFA State Secretary Normans Penke
reporting that the Russians had now formally called off the
Lavrov visit to Riga discussed for September 17. Penke said
the reason was the Russian side would not be prepared to
exchange instruments of ratification on the border treaty by
that date. Penke said that Russians also declined to send DFM
Titov at this time. Responding to Charge's question, Penke
said that the GOL was fine with this decision and expected
that Lavrov would visit Riga at a later date (Penke
speculated on mid to late October) once Russia had ratified
the treaty.
