Russia and the European Union have to be more approachable in their
positions regarding the South Caucasus, with the purpose of stabilizing
the situation in the region, said Russian President Dmitry Medvedev
during a press conference which summarized the results of the EU-Russia
Summit in Stockholm.

"On the subject of the Transcaucasus [meaning, the South Caucasus],
our positions don’t correspond, we must accept that. However, this
isn’t a reason to dramatize the situation," noted Medvedev.

According to the Russian president, Moscow again intends to conduct
negotiations, in the spirit of compromise, on "complex matters"
in the future.

Though, according to Medvedev, there are good examples of cooperation
with Europe. "The settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict:
positive changes are noted in this regard. This is an example of how
we can cooperate or we could’ve cooperated if not for last year’s
well-known aggression."
