"The key decisions of the session participants will be reflected in a final declaration and other documents," the statement reads.
Russian top diplomat Sergey Lavrov said at a meeting of the CSTO Council of Foreign Ministers on Tuesday that a package of documents aimed at improving the peacekeeping capacity of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) has been prepared for the upcoming meeting of the CSTO Collective Security Council.
Currently, six countries form the CSTO: Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.
