This summit in Nice, France is a sign of renewed diplomacy and hopefully an indicator of future diplomatic negotiations between Russia and the EU so that another situation like Georgia does not occur again, specifically in Poland or any other ex-Soviet satellite. The EU has plans to negotiate with Russia to send United Nation monitors into South Ossetia. By recognizing and using an international institution and cooperating with the EU, Russia will demonstrate willingness to reciprocate the diplomatic efforts from the rest of the Europe in creating a safer and more beneficial region for not just the EU but also themselves. These talks should foster a better relationship between all states involved. Russia hopes to make head-way on their proposal for a collective European security agreement with the EU which, if successful, will unite the EU and Russia under one agreement and interconnect all the states security arrangements. This summit is a source for a combined EU-Russian platform before the larger Group of 20 summit which takes place in Washington, DC, immediately following the summit in Nice. All EU member states and Russia stand everything to gain by cooperating and negotiating in these summits. Hopefully a consensus can be reached and a platform but into action which will foster peace through progression in economic trade and a united stance on a security arrangement.
