Putin's aide calls for intensified Russia-EU dialogue
Russia and the European Union should start a more active dialogue on contentious issues to avoid creating a dividing line on the continent, a Russian presidential aide said Friday. "We have been conducting an insufficiently intensive dialogue on security issues in Europe on the whole, and on U.S. plans to deploy its missile defense system in Poland and the Czech Republic in particular," Vladimir Putin's special envoy on relations with the EU, Sergei Yastrzhembsky, said at a French university.
Yastrzhembsky said he wishes the EU would play a more significant role on the international scene. Russia's foreign minister said earlier Friday that U.S. plans to deploy air defense missiles in Europe could negatively affect Russia's relations with NATO if implemented unilaterally without Russia's involvement or any consideration of collective interests.
