I will follow German eastern policy. It would be good if Merkel would notice other countries of the region, beside Russia. I agree that such a "privileged partnership" would be good tool for the beginning.

It is funny that Schroeder want to have a permanent seat in the UN Security Council and in the same time he refuse to take any responsibility for spreading democracy, even in his neighborhood.

Not really. Here in Germany Schroeder is also known for his "Basta-Politik", aka. "My way or the highway". Schroeder secretly admires Putin because that's the way he'd prefer to govern, too.
