"Friday will see the opening of the second European Union-Russia summit this year. We do not meet any other country so frequently, yet problems persist.
Friday’s summit is not Mr Putin’s farewell visit: he will still be holding Russia’s reins in the future. Instead of singing his praises we should be debating how to bring substance to the strategic partnership between Russia and the European Union.
For Europe’s security it would be very important to launch the cooperation on crisis management agreed at the meeting of November 2003, especially in respect of frozen conflicts.
In Portugal Russia should be asked to treat Transnistrian separatists declared personae non gratae by the European Union as a genuine partner would, by prohibiting the Transnistrian elite from travelling across Russia’s borders. Currently a gang which is sowing instability among Europe’s neighbours can travel freely through Russian airports.
This step would not be difficult for Russia, and at the same time would be a sign that Russia will listen to Europe and that we are genuinely partners."@en1
