Current relations between Russia and European Union are “timeworn” and so a new framework for cooperation in the next twenty years has to be created. This is what Sergey Yastrzhembsky, an adviser to the Russian president, had to say about the perspectives of Russian-EU relations.
Tomáš Pojar, First Deputy Minister of Foreifn Affairs of the Czech Republic, highlighted the need of a dialogue between Russia and the EU. According to Pojar, the European Union needs to clear the Eastern dimension of EU’s foreign policy, notably in what concerns its relations with Russian Federation. Economic cooperation is one of the main points of relations between Russia and the EU. According to Sergey Yastrzhembsky, European Union is the number one among Russia’s business partners. Energy is a very important topic. Yastrzhembsky emphasized Russia’s efforts to increase the amount of energy supplies to the EU and at the same time its struggle to diversify the sources designated for export.
