Hello,

I found a webpage where Baikonur is called a "Russian enclave". It
also mentions that "it has been regulated simultaneously for the past
few years by Russian and Kazakh authorities" (whatever THAT means...)

www.space.com/missionlaunches/launches/baikonur_background_991028.html

My guess is that Russia and Kazakhstan intentionally did not digress
too far into the sovereignty issue when they signed their pact. But
it seems to be a somewhat similar situation as the Czech harbor in
Hamburg.

Greetings,
