MOSCOW. Aug 31 (Interfax-AVN) - Moscow believes that the European Union may contribute to "resolution of frozen conflicts with self-proclaimed republics in the CIS, but only within the framework of existing formats," Russia's envoy to the EU Vladimir Chizhov said.
"These are established formats, achieved painstakingly, and are the only ones suitable," Chizhov said at press conference in Moscow.
He said that "the EU may cooperate within the framework of these formats, but without undermining them."
