MOSCOW, December 2 (RIA Novosti) - The Austrian chancellor and Russian prime minister met in Moscow Friday, praising relations between the two countries and calling each other important and strategic partners, while looking toward a new document to replace the shared cooperation agreement that expires next year.

Austrian Chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel said it was time to "start a new life" and "give [cooperation] new dynamics".

Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov affirmed Moscow's intention to strengthen relations with Austria, which takes over the rotating EU presidency next year.

"We regard Austria as an important and promising partner in Europe," Fradkov said

Poland is a backwater of the European Socialist Union, what's it got to be afraid of? Besides croaching EU communism and homosexual parties in Warsaw...oh and the usual destruction of Christianity.
