Leaders debate Georgian War and Russian Relations on NPR
September 01, 2008
On September 1, the German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) held a debate entitled "The war in Georgia and relations with Russia: What happened and what now?" in Brussels, Belgium just before an emergency European Summit began. This debate was intended to give the European audience an opportunity to ask questions of leading people on the issue. The five panelists were: Radoslaw Sikorski, Polish Foreign Minister; Matthew Bryza, U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs; Temuri Yakobashvili, Georgian Minister for Reintegration; Vladimir Chizov, Russian Ambassador to the European Union; and Eckart Von Klaeden, Foreign Policy Spokesman of the CDU/CSU in the German Bundestag.
