...as the country's ambassador to NATO.

The Kremlin's gambit in NATO:

Estonia's Daily Postimees is angry over Rogosin's appointment as Russia's new Ambassador to NATO.

"Let's not forget that it was Rogosin who threatened NATO member Estonia with war last April, in order to protect a Soviet bronze statue. Rogosin says Russia has to resurrect its role as world power.

This does not suggest that the Kremlin wants normal relations with NATO. How will the Estonian envoy look upon a joint NATO conference with Russia ?

Estonia must have a say in the alliance."
