The talks which had just started when Russia invaded Georgia in August have since been frozen. An EU executive said in a report that EU foreign ministers should agree to resume the talks at a meeting on Monday, and such a step could be finalized at an EU-Russia summit in Nice, France, on Nov. 14, the Moscow Times reports. “These negotiations should continue, first because this would allow the EU to pursue its own interests with Russia,” the commission report said.
