German Chancellor Angela Merkel says she does not expect Russian
President Dmitri Medvedev to sign a Russian parliamentary
resolution recognising two rebel regions of Georgia as independent
states.
She made the comments after talks in Stockholm with Swedish
Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt. Merkel added that signing the
resolution would only add tension to an already critical situation.
Stockholm is the first stop on Merkel's two-day tour, which will
also take her to Estonia and Lithuania, focused on the
European Union's relations with Russia.
