"Mr President, Russia should become a privileged strategic partner and the development and extension of the partnership in all sectors should be a basic and constant strategic priority of the European Union over coming years. No one can doubt that Russia has a great deal of potential to play a decisive role in consolidating international security, stability, peace and a balanced international order. I believe that cooperation is needed in order to resolve international and regional crises within the framework of the UN and to prevent the imposition of unilateral solutions. The experience gained from joint participation in the Quartet to resolve the Palestinian problem, which resulted in the roadmap, should be applied to other regional problems, such as Kosovo, the crisis in the Caucasus and the crisis in Central Asia. There is, however, a lack of trust between the two sides which the enlargement of the European Union has exacerbated rather than reversed. Enlargement should be a bridge for cooperation; it should not create new divisive walls. From this point of view, the European Union and the new Member States have a great deal of responsibility. We cannot help to build strategic relations with Russia with the syndromes of fear and the experience of a traumatic past. The crucial factor for the future of relations between the European Union and Russia is the configuration of a joint European strategy in which all the Member States will talk the same language, not on the basis of national priorities on individual interests. We, as the European Union, need a cohesive and integrated strategy with vision and inspiration in our relations with Russia."@en1
