The Ukraine crisis has highlighted the urgent need to jointly elaborate a model of Russia-EU relations in the region of our “common neighbourhood” which would ensure due consideration of the interests of all parties concerned and all countries of the region, thus instead of being a source of tension, becoming an instrument of enhancing and strengthening our cooperation. We should learn from self-evident mistakes made during the implementation by the EU of its Eastern Partnership initiative, the unilateral nature of which largely provoked the current crisis. In this context much will depend on whether the EU proves ready for real substantive dialogue on harmonising the processes of European and Eurasian integration.
