In turn, the representative of the Norwegian Foreign Ministry Ane Haavardsdatter recalled that the agreement does not have retroactive effect, so it can be terminated.
“The generally accepted practice is that agreements on the establishment of borders are valid indefinitely. We hope that Russia will treat this with respect,” the diplomat summed up.
This is a disputed area, which was divided into two equal parts in 2010, with an area of 1.75 million square kilometers.
