Russia, EU may start talks on partnership agreement

Russia and the European Union (EU) may start negotiations on a new partnership and cooperation agreement shortly, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at a government meeting on Monday. "If what EU colleagues are telling us is true, we may start the negotiations in the near future and announce their beginning at the Khanty-Mansiisk summit in June," Lavrov was quoted by Interfaxnews agency as saying. He said Russia was receiving signals that showed the impediments to the negotiations on a new partnership and cooperation agreement "will be gone soon," and that Russia was ready to start the negotiations.
