NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer said it was difficult to take the proposal seriously when Russia was building military bases in the rebel Georgian regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. "I cannot see how we can have a serious discussion of such a new architecture in which President Medvedev himself says territorial integrity is the primary element when Russia is building bases inside Georgia," he said. "That cannot be ignored and that cannot be the basis of a new security architecture," Scheffer told an audience of dignitaries from around the world at a major international security conference in Munich. The comments came one day after Scheffer met Russian Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov on the sidelines of the conference, in the highest-level contact between NATO and Russia since last August's war in Georgia. After the war Moscow recognised Abkhazia and South Ossetia as independent states and said it would leave thousands of troops there, prompting widespread condemnation. Russia says the troops are needed to prevent Georgian aggression. Scheffer also voiced concern about Kyrgyzstan's decision this week to close an airbase used to support the NATO mission in Afghanistan, which was widely seen as a move made under Russian pressure. "I am also concerned that the Kyrgyz president announces in Moscow that Manas airbase will be closed to the United States," Scheffer said. He called the move "at the very least incongruous" with Russia's stated support for the international operation in Afghanistan, which includes agreements to allow transit of supplies across Russian territory. EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana meanwhile welcomed Medvedev's European security proposals as a starting point for further discussion. "The president of the Russian Federation has made some proposals. They are still to be made more precise, but I would like to say that for me they are the right ideas, they should be taken seriously," Solana said. "Engagement in a debate is in itself a road to build trust," Solana added.
