BELGRADE,
Serbia (AP) — Russia's foreign minister on Wednesday criticized Western
policies toward his country, blasting the European Union for failing to
maintain good relations with Moscow despite the divisions over Ukraine
and many other issues.
Sergey
Lavrov said during a visit to Slovenia that being a member of NATO or
the EU "does not mean it is necessary to avoid contacts with states that
are not included in those international organizations," like Russia.
"I
think it's absolutely detrimental to push a false choice on any
country, which suggests that well, you go either West or East," he said.
"Regrettably, some of our counterparts in the West proceed from
precisely this logic when they communicate with countries in Western
Balkans, and not only there."
