The European Union (E.U.) is willing to maintain its role in political projects on the Transnistrian issue, while the problem of frozen conflicts will be tackled in the context of relations with the Russian Federation, Romanian Foreign Minister Mihai Ungureanu said in Lappeenranta, Finland, on Saturday, according to Mediafax news agency. <\/p>\n

"The E.U. is decided to assume a role, to continue it, so that the political projects on the Transnistrian issue – integrity of Moldova, an internal resolution of this problem, relationship between Tiraspol and Chisinau – have its signature," the Romanian minister stated. <\/p>\n

The Transnistrian issue was discussed at the informal meeting of E.U. foreign ministers in Finland as part of the E.U.-Russian Federation relationship. These debates especially focussed on two aspects: security as a matter of fact, "another name for frozen conflicts", according to Ungureanu, and energy problem. The Finnish presidency has the mission to outline the draft partnership agreement between the E.U. and Russia, which will be signed in the first half of next year. For this purpose, Finland will have to negotiate first the composition of this agreement with all E.U. member states, Ungureanu explained. <\/p>\n

"There was a suggestion that a single voice is needed in relation with Russia, based on a shared national interest that would bring together common principles, and no one would be allowed to deviate from them," he said. Ungureanu added that progress is desired especially in energy, transborder trade, and visa and security issues. Foreign ministers admitted that Russia has made remarkable economic progresses, but noted that more administrative interest for development of the state based on the rule of law and a viable democracy are required.
\n\"\"
\nRussia is perceived in two aspects inside the E.U., which "are not always complementary" – strategic partner or strategic neighbour. This dual definition is one of causes of differences of attitude of E.U. states toward Russia, Ungureanu underlined. As regards the security area, he reported that E.U. High Representative for Foreign Policy Javier Solana has warned ministers that the E.U. is "unreasonably shy" sometimes, especially as regards the frozen conflicts for which a "real partnership with visible results" is needed. "The E.U. must assume stances, sometimes courageously, that contravene to monetary interests of the Russian Federation," on basis of some convincing arguments, officials who attended the meeting said, concluding among others that the E.U.-Russia dialogue must be privileged "complementarily but above the bilateral dialogue between European states and Russia." <\/p>\n

According to the source, the E.U.-Russia relation will undergo two tests: "the so-called September 17 referendum in Transnistria" and Russia’s reaction to the Kosovo issue.
