"Russia is one of the EU’s most important partners in many regards. The numerous political and economic agreements that have been signed with our Russian neighbour are proof that the EU considers it to be a key partner on the international stage. Twenty years ago, the totalitarian regimes of Central and Eastern Europe collapsed. That was a major victory for democracy. Today, however, we are faced with a worrying situation. The last legislative elections were widely criticised for failing to respect proper procedures and ensure the transparency of the results. Respect for democracy is also based on establishing elections that are worthy of the name, freedom of expression, a free political opposition, and freedom of association and demonstration. It is now up to Russia to prove to its long-standing European partner that it is committed to becoming a state of law that is worthy of the name."@en1
