The participants discussed report “EU and the East. Four Scenarios for Relations between the EU, the Russian Federation and Common Neighbors” prepared by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation.
Despite recent efforts to set forth a constructive dialogue between Moscow and Brussels, relations between Russia and East European countries are still strained.
The discussants agreed that although the common house scenario with pragmatic cooperation of the EU, Russia and common neighbors is the most attractive, with the account of amassed contradictions the split house scenario appears more likely.
