The presidents of the three ex-Soviet Baltic republics and Poland and Ukraine, (L-R) Lennart Meri (Estonia), Guntis Ulmanis (Latvia) Algirdas Brazauskas (Lithuania) Aleksander Kwasniewski (Poland) and Leonid Kuchma (Ukraine), shake hands after holding a summit in Tallinn, 27 May. The presidents urged NATO on Tuesday to keep its doors open after admitting a first wave of new members in July. Their summit took place as NATO leaders and Russian President Boris Yeltsin signed a cooperatin accord in Paris, effectively clearing away Moscow's bitter opposition to its Cold War foe's expansion.
