Abkhazia And Other Hot Dishes
The events in Abkhazia and another aggravation of relations between Russia and Georgia have become a certain obstacle for talks about the new big EU-Russia partnership agreement. Two years were lost due to the veto put by Warsaw who fought against “sanitary” ban put on export of Polish meat and other agricultural products to Russia. Now everything being arranged with the Polish, it’s Lithuania who makes a refuse. Besides the old dissatisfaction with the sealing off the oil pipe from Russia to oil processing plant in Mazheikyay, it has attracted attention to the Russian policy towards Georgia. Last Thursday the Lithuanian ambassador in the EU blocked the recommendation to “lift the gate” for the talks.
