In a joint statement Presidents Lennart Meri of Estonia, Guntis Ulmanis of Latvia, and Algirdas Brazauskas of Lithuania called the struggle in Moscow "a contest between a democratically elected President and antidemocratic power structures."

"Deeply concerned about the events in Moscow, I am again expressing my resolute support for President Yeltsin and his allies."
