10/03/2003 (Agence Europe) - Lista Bonino MEP Olivier Dupuis is angered by the invitation extended by Dmitri Rogozin, President of the International Affairs Committee of Russia's Federal Assembly to Reino Paasilina, President of the EP's ad hoc delegation to Chechnya, to visit Chechnya to observe the referendum organised by Moscow for 23 May. Mr Rozogin has "got a nerve", stormed the MEP, reminding his colleagues that over the last two years, the Russian official has constantly thwarted the ad hoc delegation's attempts to visit Chechnya, and is now asking Mr Paasilina to come and "endorse a referendum organised by the Muscovite authorities against the will of the legitimate authorities of the Republic of Chechnya".
