EU executive backs Russia restarting talks frozen by Georgia war
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
The European Union's executive has backed restarting talks with Russia on a partnership deal that were frozen after the Russian invasion of Georgia in August.
The European Commission said in a report released Wednesday that EU foreign ministers should agree to resume the talks at a meeting on Monday.
At a summit meeting last month, leaders of the EU's 27 nations were divided over whether to restart the talks.
They ordered the commission to draw up a review of the bloc's relations with Russia before a decision on the way ahead.
