Eastern European Political Elite Criticizes Obama
Marcin Bosacki, Gazeta Wyborcza (translated) | July 17, 2009
Former decision makers from Eastern Europe warn President Obama in an open letter about an deterioration of bilateral relations. ++ The tone of the letter is "much sharper than the usual language of diplomacy." ++ This reaction of high-ranking political protagonists is a result of the current cooling of Eastern Europe's relations with the US. ++ The authors state: 'Our region is one part of the world that Americans have largely stopped worrying about.' ++ The US missile defense system will be the touch-stone of US credibility.
