The Austrian foreign Minister spoke about the importance of Russia for Europe
Minister for foreign Affairs of Austria Alexander Kallenberg said in an interview to the newspaper Wiener Zeitung that shares the opinion about the fact that in the long-term stability and security in the European Union is possible only together with Russia.
According to the Minister, there was a chance that the Russian Federation will be part of a "society with Western values," but the country went on its own path.
"When it comes, I'm always happy to quote the Federal President of Germany Frank-Walter Steinmeier. He said that in the long-term stability and security in the European Union is possible only together with Russia, not in opposition to it, " said Kallenberg.
He added that Austria had always tried to keep open channels for dialogue." Mutual game in a silence never before has anyone brought nothing, " said the diplomat, pointing out that dialogue does not mean abandoning one's own values.
before the new government of Austria has published a work programme, which reported on the continuation of the policy of mitigation of punishment against Russia. The program also said that the government would continue to develop Russian-Austrian public forum " Sochi dialogue ".
