Rusya ve AB

Yukarıda Javier Solana ile interfax grubundan bir gazeteci ile yapılmış bir röpartaj var.
En başa aldığım soru bence önemli bir soru. Solana nın verdiği cevapta ilginç.

Avrupa da bence en büyük sorun her ülke ile iyi geçinmek yerine, 'biz herkesden üstünüz' tezini hala (19.yüzyıldan kalma sömürgecilik alışkanlığı herhalde) savunmaya çalışmaları...

Would you agree that the European Union is far from speaking to Russia in the same language? Would you agree that it is in the interests of the "Old West" to put pressure on East European countries so that they adopt a West European view of the partnership with Russia?

Every EU Member State has of course bilateral relations with Russia, which are marked by individual interests and an individual history. It would however be wrong to assume that the Eastern European countries look differently towards Russia than the "old" Member States, which, experience has shown, is certainly not the case. It would be even more wrong to assume that one block of countries puts pressure on another block to make them adopt "their" view on the relationship with Russia. In the context of the EU's Common Foreign and Security Policy, we always act with the consent of every single Member State. This is an inherent part of what the EU is about in the area of foreign relations.
