you know all the things that come with citizenship and it is so simple logical construct it is the policy of european integration do you think that is your opinion may be eroded its the concept of national identity by bringing all those member states so close together and by raising all the borders between them no the few opinion integration has done is refined national identity in the good old days of the battle days you know long before nations were identifying themselves you know position to do. so so many reasons for having so many wars in europe now it is them and we can cooperate mix and travel and live outside him still retain our national identity so you don't think that the modern globalized world has played to the advantage of national patrick says well you see i mean those two probably have very little relation to each other really well nobody's

ation is. trading more. knowing more therefore about the child learning more about the child or what is happening that we simply learn a heck of a lot more about each. and what is what constitute the constituent elements of the identity so we simply learn more about each other but i think it doesn't really change what identity how do you see the row with the easy in the next twenty years oh boy that is a question that i don't think anyone has any answer for including the truly needy people who are. you see the just because some guy says i believe well you are referring to this old old question that many have. no form of the. well it can probably go in three different directions. can become

a federal state why don't you give us a big federal state but unusual because it would have three levels of government rather than two that's one possible direction another could be just a union of. states. kind of maintaining. the the traditional type just like it is now. model this all or it can be a third. state. that. we can even think about because it hasn't happened yet do you think. all the europeans are happy with the concept of the european european union i know what it means to be happy if i can kind of turn your question around and ask are there many europeans who are unhappy with the e.u.

and i would say yes there are some but not because it would have been reflected in the national policies of the governments of the member states the euro skeptics are usually on the margins of political life and they are not even close to decent minority if they think about the new as a political force what does depend on it's easy to become a real political force on the world areana be told read a simple logical force of significance it it's a bit unusual because he doesn't have a knowledge of me he doesn't have. new it doesn't have all the usual requirements that are assigned to a state because it's not the state but it is such quite influential and it has. its presence is felt in many corners of the world in america for example.

so it is a force to be reckoned with but its its significance is not braced on its military power or the threat of using military power it's not a. political force that can be conceived in purely realistic terms realism is partially a political bold tool to denature. right now it's experiencing crisis like any other organisation country or. its political force does it depend on its handling of the current crisis and how it's handled the problems with greece and with the euro while our problems are difficulties and. they have to be dealt with and resolved but you see judging by the history of do you. it has had many crises or what was perceived to be crisis at the time for instance

around the ratification of the mastery treaty forums for example do europe paralysis for example and every time a things like that happened what what emerged afterwards is accelerating the process of integration so if you hear right now about. the european monetary fund the finance ministry for the euro zone countries. that is probably what is quite likely to emerge after the problems with greece and with be deficits are dealt with to prevent a crisis like that to happen again they will probably take all the steps that they can think of to make this less likely what do you think will happen to the theory or whatever you may think. we think they fall the hero will be catastrophic for us as well what do you think is the real danger that. something may happen to iran

that would not be just catastrophic for russia it would have been. for europe had it happened and the rest of the world would have been affected i mean again a lot of strain. it is in the votes of many central banks around the world and that is something that would affect. europe and beyond and if for no other reason than that reason alone is probably going to assume that it is less likely that the euro would. look at. where they are in their relationship well as far as russia concerned only. in the early stages still learning what do you being union is it really started when mr yeltsin was over this is the first time when you know people in the kremlin. comprehended. of dealing with the. direct through

the leaders of the member states. then it became quite clear what the power within the e.u. when it came to the problem of the visa mr putin trying to arrange that with then. german. chancellor and the french president and well it didn't work. so. it it i think it is it is probably accepted in. probably a good idea to deal with the directly and that's how it started. well you know if for no other reason than the reason of geography the two have to have a relationship and it's better of course for both sides at this place where it is based i'm called peroration and not based on hostility the problem is that the. the

process of integration with you even those who have been you know from the very beginning our most integrated joint. and those who have it have joined to recently have with a few problems with russia right because the former soviet bloc countries and of course their impact on the policies of the e.u. moscow is not present and it is at least for now it will go for notes that i would still want to ask the scientists on their relationship between russia and as you've sat younger members of the european union for instance poland would take a small ask tragedy which is huge. hadn't been there passed before that could you say that maybe this tragedy fortunately or unfortunately it brought us together i think actually also it's one of the results of the small things is that.

both sides have become more willing to take another look at the charter. kind of restart the relationship mr putin was more than forthcoming in helping and you know what tending the needs and i think you know the polls do appreciate that maybe not every one of them but many of them. and also your reflection of the changed tone between the two governments. and that is i guess the one of the good things that has emerged from something that. everyone has been saying in the west that russia needs to get away from its dependence on oil and gas now for the past two years maybe that's it has been saying that as well that russian economy should be depending on that what should russia do to really move away from its economic dependence from gas. what russia

really needs is to make sure to create circumstances conditions at home that would actually make investment in russia attractive. and that means that investors will come only when and if. they are. convinced that they've been taking economic risks. there will be no political risks to take they also have to have an assurance that there is a contractual dispute. that there is someone who can adjudicate that in an objective way following the law and nothing else so that means that russia needs a independent judiciary russia doesn't have one at the same time. you know russia should be quite attractive because potentially it is a fabulous new rich country so russia has the makings the foundation for

economic development it's just that first and foremost the political infrastructure for that to happen as long as. high price then the money is flowing and that kind of makes everybody. satisfied but if the prices go down and since it's a market they may and probably will then what. death is something that. the political leaders of russia. should be concerned about. thank you very much. thank you. for bush. by one vote for kerry.

so the people that are going to be validating this machine can stand there all day long and vote for somebody and it will be right every time but the guy can walk up here and if he hits the right button. he can flip the boat that he took. in some petersburg parties available in grant to tell you a grand hotel emerald marco polo club school who took photo of the big goal to. create this. twenty two. top stories coaches authorities arrest opposition members as violence returns to
