Russia, EU fail to reach agreement at summit

Russian and EU leaders failed to reach any agreement at a biannual summit here, with disputes on democracy and the relocation of a former Soviet statue in Estonia lingering on.

Both sides also touched on energy cooperation, but no progress was made on the issue which has hampered relations in recent years with successive winter price disputes, pipeline shutdowns and Russian consolidation of Central Asian oil and gas reserves.
