waiting patiently for boroda's brilliant response.
I'm not Boroda, but I will answer.
1. Trawler was intercepted by Norwegian patrol in so-called Norwegian Fishguarding zone of Spitsbergen.
2. This zone is not Norwegian territory.
3. The regulations about borders of the given zone are accepted only by Norway. Other countries, including Russia, did not sign agreements on the given territory wich is by default the international waters.
4. As we know, intercepting the ship in the international waters is piracy.
5. If our authorities will arrest those inspectors they will go to court on charge in a piracy.
Any questions?
