"Mr President, for very many of us who lived in the shadow of Russia in communist regimes, the outcome of these elections is no other than the election of Vladimir Putin as President. I would not want to delude ourselves and see things only from a certain perspective. For a very long time to come, Russia will find itself between Asian-style modernisation and European-style democracy. There is no doubt that those 30% of Russian citizens who are motivated to choose their European model are worth our investment. I emphasise that our partnership with Russia should focus on strengthening a civil society and an opposition which, hopefully, will no longer be divided.
About the elections: they were certainly neither free nor transparent, judging by our standards. Elections should not be assessed only in relation to the voting day, but against the whole general context. However, I think that if our partnership remains a privileged policy, we need to carry on with realism."@en1
