Pogovori s Putinom da ali ne? Evropa išče skupno stališče
A phone call between Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, and Russian President Vladimir Putin has caused friction among Nordic nations. Denmark and Sweden criticized the two leaders for failing to coordinate the initiative with other European allies. This incident has reopened a debate regarding who should lead negotiations with Moscow on behalf of Europe. There are also questions about whether engaging in dialogue with Putin is meaningful at all.
Telefonski pogovor finskega predsednika Alexandra Stubba in norveškega premierja Jonasa Gahra Støreja z ruskim predsednikom Vladimirjem Putinom je povzročil nesoglasja med nordijskimi državami. Danska in Švedska sta jima očitali, da pobuda ni bila usklajena z drugimi evropskimi zaveznicami. Ponovno se tako odpira vprašanje, kdo naj v imenu Evrope vodi pogovore z Moskvo in ali je dialog s Putinom sploh smiseln.
