Russia-EU dialogue required to build security system - Peskov

Russia will sooner or later have to negotiate a future security system in Europe with the Europeans, but it will need to understand who will be the negotiator, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Vesti television in a comment.

According to him, understating who will act as a negotiator there is key.

"Sooner or later, that makes no difference, of course, because we will discuss a security system in Europe, and a future security system, which will be an essential element of a settlement, and we will need a conversation with the Europeans. I wish we could understand who to engage with over there," Peskov said.

Meanwhile, the complicated process of selecting officials authorized to hold talks with Russia will continue in Europe.

"As for the Europeans, it is taking them too long to decide who has the right to speak with us. They have to ask for permission first and consult with one another," Peskov said.
