active role in promoting closer ties between russia and nato how much do you think nato has to change in order to recognize the value of partnership well nato has to change and nato is in a search for a mission for a long time after the ending of cold war the route to me the question was if nato is necessary at all but the mission was never completely defined and i think that it cannot be completely defined without a true partnership with russia and we don't have a cold war anymore and we have to figure out what to do snooped partnership means and i think that in lisbon in the coming days we should come closer to that definition mr president proposed european security treaty do you saying it actually nato leadership into a concept review president medvedev of a proposal that was said was an excellent beginning and that the agenda that the a lot of creative thinking in nato and i think it actually contributed to the new

strategic concept of nato which is much more open and which is which is much more appropriate for a partnership between nato and russia and i'm talking about the assessment of security threats a commitment to the chart that of the united nations and also on the possibility to establish partnerships with regard to side defense what do you expect to see. concept announcement anything new or something that you definitely do. expect to see well i think that we should see a meaningful step towards partnership with this and i think that that's the key in the new strategic concept the platform which the new strategic concept offers will be appropriate for reaching agreement on security threats reaching agreement sons and nuclear weapons i think that these are all security challenges

which have to be addressed as true as that huge strategic concept talking about more about new one slovenian concept this living is dependent on e.u. cohesion worry you especially now that the commitment to its rules is under review by the big houses the opinion has been affected very badly by the god and the financial and economic crisis and that has been impact on the system all fueled the common crowd and to which many evil members but not all be long and now we are in a situation where we have to find a proper financial stability mechanism a mechanism which would be appropriate for management the financial crisis of the future is gross domestic product dropped the most among the sixteen nations sharing the euro plus down employment that has hit through the one hundred thousand mark do you ever regret joining the currency what are the main pros and cons almost three

years after the introduction of euro people have totally accept that you would as the cut of the scene in the country they know that obviously the lack of monetary. and the inability to devalue the national guard and see is a problem when when the market markets are low the solution is seen that there are adjustments to go to his own enjoyment of the improvement in our competitiveness and the necessary changes in our economic. social model which will allow competitiveness to grow in those social stability to continue. angela merkel's push against the lisbon treaty budgetary criteria do you see this as a power shift from brussels to berlin there has always been a division of power so to speak and i think that we should not forget the european union is not a state european union is

a system of sovereign states and in that context germany as the major contributor to the european union and the major economic powerful powerful union has a legitimate reason or denied that it was illegal but it has to be exercised in them and there are. solutions to be with interest. in union also e.u. has a free regime with russia but the details are still they know on the ground what do you think would be a good step the first good step in this direction but i think we need political determination first i think we need to change the political awareness about these things but india. has it they should and i think this has a patient has to be overcome freedom of movement is a human right we should never forget that russia is part of europe well certainly

in a cultural sense in the political sense yes but i see certainly russia as a part of european space it has been so for centuries it's are precisely you've called for a multilateral framework to consolidate energy supplies to the e.u. markets as of today not much has been done in that perspective how do you assure you consumers of the security i think we need a much wider multilateral look because energy security depends on the most multitude of players. russia is always there russia is a key player key supplier a key partner and most of us in europe have extremely good experience with russia i mean we have been buying russian gas in slovenia for thirty two years right now because paul has worked perfectly so there is no reason why we should be in any way i'm comfortable with where we need russia in that multilateral framework but we

need to this is where both consumers and suppliers that has not been done because we have worked on specific projects more than stream solid and stream the book call and other projects but i think the time is coming to look at the whole picture and work. co-operatively range meant for the future well you've touched upon south stream how would the development of south stream change the energy sector in slovenia what exactly do you expect from we see the multiplying effect of the gas pipeline because the gas pipeline brings not only gas it brings other economic activities it brings. them based electricity plants which we need them others need in the region and we can develop that to use and you can achieve you know this is an opportunity it's really a basic opportunity and let's look at this support to do this in the call put it the if framework with more confidence than we were used from before you speak about . framework in terms of consumer and supplier but you also previously on different

occasions told r.t. that one should connect with where their energies and their energy is in russia why is a you so persistent about number well i'm not persistence of india is not the part of the book a project by your part of the e.u. we are part of the e.u. and we would like to see that we don't see this as a mutually exclusive projects that we believe we believe in south stream and we would like to progress rapidly a book or is a separate project but. excludes solves three roger and i would like to i'd like to see meeting where both would be discussed as i said we have to improve the level of confidence is this corrections president slovenia was one of the countries to be consumed both by a fascism and communism during world war two he actually stressed the importance of the red army and its role in liberating europe from fascism but as it seems today.

europe a still under threat especially during a recession what do you think you should do to tackle the rising fascism. i'm not sure whether the extremist movements that we see today fascist movements in the sense of the first of the twentieth century this a different movements what we know all have views and all of the burst of dissatisfaction among people who choose thurmond against immigrants in particular so we see elements. of them and so racism of them and children isn't quietude late in bringing the being brought together into into a sweet genovese movement of our time and we have seen this in all parts of europe that's very worrying we see this from from south to north even in sweden this kind of policies have made progress in the in the prost months we need obviously the conservative christian democrat element which has to be strong and which has to

spawn to the part of the population which is that would be the addition of those christian values we need we need left liberal socially minded politicos actors as well they have been somewhat in decline in the last years or so but they have to figure out what the priorities of our time are where does one really improve. the condition all for working people and and how does one improve so good that it can society persecutions for political idealism it's also part of your country's history that we can draw apart us russia and poland are trying to mean just to reinvestigate to cut-n. horrors what advice would you gave are actually seeking to recover peace from that past well there's a very difficult question and i can tell you we in slovenia have a also our part of the think with boston we have not been able to overcome it we

have constant the discussions of this and the constant. reflections the tragedy. and not only a tragedy but also crimes that were committed and this healing very slowly in our country in slovenia and elsewhere we should first of all of them all crimes it is specter who committed them we have to bury all the dead and buried them with dignity we have to commemorate the tragedy of all who died and that's you know it's not easy to do because there are many who would say well you know why should we be turning to the postes and i agree we should not be we shouldn't be in slave we should not be prisoner source bost we have to find a derived measure. at the code i think you know was the president thank you very much for this interview my pleasure.

my married mother could not live without her because. he was afraid. and she was very good for me. she filled. our lives frankenstein's monster. we don't have the problem but every. effort is made on the palestinian or on the european side to negotiate in to the violent attacks against israel which i have no fear of war calling her so long as you have no fear calling the leader of the state of israel one of the main terrorists in the world.

we are supposed to be seriously examining history but you mention a few words about jewish culture happening and people get so upset this is i'm sorry to say it's a form of emotional blackmail. wealthy british style sun it's time to. market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy

a boy shown in the euro twenty twelve group i qualify it as and he's dropped several first in regulus for the netherlands game which the dutchman says will be a good experience for his new look to a. more or less for more of this match because we have. for new players compared to the dutch team which is already. at least two years or more. almost the same position playing which give it a huge advantage but that's why i like to see my players tomorrow how they oppose that. machine which is playing very well recently well in contrast netherlands manager but that novick has opted for the media looking scornfully while cup run is at the county top of course in the european qualifiers possibles robin van persie and buying minix month fun pommel have returned from injury that their respective clubs are concerned about the call ups from it feel that jonny fighting a thinks one love

in foreign leagues some of them are playing here in england and what i'm looking to develop is a top center. these players grow and progress to learn another dimension to their play another style and another facet to their play while playing in different leagues as well as playing in the french leaders in the. meanwhile ahead of all of those matches favre has released their new world rankings where russia have slipped down three places and dropped out of the top ten into thirteen spot there are no other changes in the top ten well the european champions spain are still leading the list runners up the netherlands are second with brazil in third place followed by germany argentina england europe why cordial and croatia egypt have risen one place to capture ten spot. and greece and norway are ahead of russia eleven and twelve respectively by stick out because many are in two thousand and six world cup winners italy or fourteenth you're a qualifying campaign group been rivals the back here for eighteen. meanwhile
