General Staff chiefs of CSTO member-states will supervise the new CSTO military committee, Secretary General of the organization Nikolai Bordyuzha said, RIA Novosti reports.
The chiefs will develop a concept for military cooperation. Formation of the military committee will be discussed at the Collective Security Council during a session in Moscow on December 19.
Colonel-General Vladimir Shamanov, Commander of the Airborne Forces, will most likely become the head of the CSTO Joint Staff.
Russian former Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov recommended Shamanov for the position in late September.
Bordyuzha said that a meeting was planned for November 16, but it was postponed.
