lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the new map of Europe has been redrawn in conjunction with this year’s enlargement, and most of the new Member States and those countries that are negotiating for membership right now have, in one way or another, had strong connections with Russia. Sometimes, those connections were made willingly and, at other times, unwillingly. Russia thus continues to play a large role in terms of stability, especially in the area around the EU’s eastern borders. It must not, however, actively side with the dictatorships there or impede the development of democracy. If this happens, the EU must be vigorous in its condemnation. The events in connection with the election in Serbia a few years ago, which resulted in Milosevic’s departure, are very reminiscent of what is happening now in Ukraine. Then, the crisis was resolved peacefully, and we must ensure that this crisis too is resolved peacefully. In that case, Europe needs, on the one hand, to show itself prepared to cooperate with Russia and, on the other hand, to emphasise that Russia should not interfere in other countries’ internal affairs, irrespective of the common history these countries and Russia may previously have had. If Russia seriously wants to be a strategic cooperation partner of the EU, it must be clear that the cornerstones of such cooperation have to be freedom, mutual respect and the democratic values shared by the EU countries. I have no specific questions for Mrs Ferrero-Waldner but wish to emphasise that neither the EU nor Russia should ever have interests in another country other than an interest in democracy and that this must be both a basis for, and an objective of, cooperation between the EU and Russia."@en1
