The face of Russian diplomacy. Sergei Lavrov is the hardest working diplomat on planet Earth. I mean that beyond any argument otherwise.

Russia and Estonia agree borders (click on)
Russia has signed a border treaty with Estonia 14 years after the Baltic state gained independence from Soviet rule.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and his Estonian counterpart Urmas Paet met in Moscow to sign the treaty, which fixes land and sea borders.
