MOSCOW. Feb 15 (Interfax) - Russia regards Poland's proposal regarding the Renewed European Security Dialogue within the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) as interesting, but talks with the United States and NATO remain a priority for Moscow at this point, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
"In the context of the search for ways to overcome the growing tension in the Euro-Atlantic space, we discussed the initiative of Poland's [OSCE] presidency, which has proposed starting an informal Renewed European Security Dialogue within the OSCE," Lavrov said at a press conference after talks with Polish Foreign Minister and OSCE Chairperson-in-Office Zbigniew Rau.
"We consider this proposal interesting, because it shows that existing problems are understood and there is a willingness to do something to help remove these problems from the agenda," he said.
However, the dialogue with the U.S. and NATO is a priority for Moscow at this stage, Lavrov said.
