UE: relazioni strategiche con le repubbliche caucasiche
15/3/2007Analisi scritta per ISN-Security Watch:
Germany’s initiatives in South Caucasus appear to be the beginning of a new phase in EU politics. For Berlin and its European partners, energy and strategic security concerns are the first priority, even though EU public opinion is often focused on ideological approaches to European relations with Russia, the US and young democracies.
Berlin can be expected to continue its sophisticated diplomacy aimed at cultivating good relations with Russia while expanding the EU’s influence and structures in Russia’s near abroad. For EU states, the more Washington and Moscow work on a broad strategic cooperation, the better their chances of securing their interests.
