JUGAC, SOUTH BAGGNAGIA – In a secret Jugac–Silcenda agreement the North Baggnagian leadership has agreed to diplomatic talks offered by South Baggnagia. These are the breaking news coming in from the government at these moments. The agreement from North Baggnagia was announced by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of South Baggnagia. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs initiated talks yesterday in the afternoon after the Congress of National Sovereignty of South Baggnagia gave such orders. The proposal for diplomatic talks was given by Foreign Minister Candidate Mina Symank and was accepted after much debate, controversy and disagreement. The South and North have been holding consistent talks for two and a half days and now the Foreign Ministry confirms that the North has agreed. The agreement to talks has come not only from the North’s diplomat but from Marshal Jan Tillich. The North Baggnagian leader and his diplomats are ready to meet Chairman of the Presidium of Congress of National Sovereignty of South Baggnagia Gustav Feldt and South Baggnagian diplomats at one of the Joint Security Areas on the border. For Chairman Gustav Feldt these would be second official talks with the North Baggnagian leadership after he met the previous North Baggnagian leader Chief of State Fran Hapenic at the same location. That was the first thaw between North and South. Now South Baggnagia wants a second one and one that could last longer. The hope is that the first thaw was cut short simply because of the change of leadership in North Baggnagia as an unfortunate coincidence.
This morning the North Baggnagian media spoke of the airspace incident of yesterday but there was not a single mention of diplomatic talks between North and South. It is doubtful that the North’s media will announce these talks too until they have happened. But under the previous leader Fran Hapenic the North’s media also did not announce the talks and they still successfully happen. For North Baggnagia it is probably a question of image and that is why their media is not covering it as extensively. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirms that the agreement is officially reached even with media silence from North Baggnagia like last time. The Congress stresses that the North’s media coverage is not of importance. Jugac and Silcenda reached an agreement verbally but the diplomats on both sides are still negotiating a date. Chairman Gustav Feldt hopes that until the day of the meeting comes the Congress of National Sovereignty will have voted Mina Symank into the office of Foreign Minister and she can lead the diplomatic delegation at the talks.
