BRUSSELS (Sputnik) — The alliance should update its mutual inspection regime with Russia, Stoltenberg suggested.
"Dialogue is important to increase transparency and predictability, and to reduce the risk of incidents and accidents. And if they do happen, it is important to avoid escalation between our forces. The downing of the Russian fighter plane over Turkey underlines how urgent this is," Stoltenberg said at the Munich Security Conference.
"I believe we should update our mutual inspection regime and reporting of our military exercises, including those held on short notice," he added.
