When it comes to the use of transponders, "different NATO allies have different practices," Stoltenberg told a news conference. Stoltenberg said NATO ambassadors informed their Russian counterpart, Alexander Grushko, about decisions made at NATO's July 8-9 summit in Warsaw. Wednesday's council meeting "was an opportunity to clarify our positions and exchange views," Stoltenberg said. Alliance Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg briefed reporters following a meeting of the NATO-Russia Council at NATO headquarters in Brussels. However, he said the Russian delegation made suggestions on risk reduction moves in Baltic airspace involving the use of warplanes' transponders.
