Justinian the Mighty Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Moscow was still abuzz with news of that Parliament had recently ratified the treaty with Vaule that would set both countries on the course toward unification. Now phase two was ready to commence as Vostokslav and Vaulan delegates converged on the Siberian town of Omsk. The governor there offered to open his home for the second summit between the two Slavic states. Vaulan delegates had already arrived at the Omsk governor’s mansion near the Vostok-Vaule border. Foreign Minister Dmitry Medvedev greeted the foreign guests, but turned the handling of the summit over to the Igor Zaytsev the Minister of Inter-Slavic Affairs. After a hearty lunch on the veranda the delegates retired to a nearby sitting room to chat. “So, we think it is time to take our relationship to the next step. There is still a lot of work to do to achieve our collective goals. We had hoped to suggest closer economic relations and the virtual elimination of the Ural-Siberian border for starters. What do you think?” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperator Azenquor Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 A Vaulian delegation headed by Minister of Slavic Unification Gen. Vladimir Kharkov arrived at the Governor’s mansion in Omsk. General Kharkov was accompanied by three other officials from the Slavic Unification Ministry. After the customary greetings and welcomes were exchanged, General Kharkov pulled out a copy of the pre-approved Slavic Unification roadmap. [i]“We wholeheartedly agree with taking the next steps towards Slavic Unification. According to the current road map, the next stages involve joint military excercises, the establishment of a free trade zone, and the standardization of entry permits and border controls. We are prepared to sign agreements to implement the next five steps to unification. We are willing to approve all necessary legislation to create the Slavic FTZ, create the Slavic Schengen Zone (SSZ) and to create the common currency (tentatively referred to as the New Russian Ruble (Currency code: NRR$). The introduction of the common currency would also require the creation of a supranational Central Bank. If we are on the same page on these issues, then let us draft the necessary agreement.”[/i]-V.
