EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana welcomed Medvedev’s European security proposals as a starting point for further discussion.
“The president of the Russian Federation has made some proposals. They are still to be made more precise, but I would like to say that for me they are the right ideas, they should be taken seriously,” Solana said. “Engagement in a debate is in itself a road to build trust.”
“Cooperation between the EU, the US and Russia on some of most difficult issues has been very positive: Iran, the Middle East, non-proliferation, terrorism … I hope that will continue and be expanded to the financial crisis and climate change,” Solana said.
