Pro-Moscow Chechnya Govt Sets Early Vote; Undermines Accord

Report
— Dow Jones and Company
GROZNY, Russia (Dow Jones)--The Moscow-backed government of Chechnya decided on Wednesday to hold elections to the breakaway republic's parliament on June 16, undermining a peace agreement between the Kremlin and rebel militants, reports the Associated Press.

Postponing the elections was a key separatist demand, and at talks held earlier this week the sides issued what they called a 'recommendation' to hold the ballot in the fall.

Monday's agreement stipulated that the vote would be preceded by rebel disarmament and a Russian pullout, both to be completed by Aug. 30.
