EU-Russia Relations in 2010

TRENDS AND PERSPECTIVES IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD POLICY

Assessments of the recent EU–Russia summit 2009 in Stockholm differ. Most experts see it as a new beginning for the EU–Russia relations – not so much because of the substantial progress achieved in some areas, but because is signalled a change towards a constructive mood in the relationship. While until recently, the parties lacked mutually acceptable positions on important issues, they now seem ready to work on important initiatives. The Summit showed that the EU has decided in favour of inclusion instead of sanctioning Russia. In return, Russia is abandoning its self-isolationist policies.
