No Russian embargo on Polish meat - Lavrov
Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov has said that Russia does not foresee any revenge measures against Poland for supporting the recent regime change in Ukraine such as for instance an embargo Polish meat products.
“If meat from Poland is fresh, if it fulfills the standards required by our sanitary inspectors, then there will no politics involved. We will import Polish argcultural products with pleasure,” said Lavrov. However, Lavrov described the signing of the political aspect of an Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU on Friday as “an attempt to win points in a geopolitical game.”
“Every country has the right to choose its partners. We believe though that that right should not be realized at the cost of the obligations the country has to other partners,” added Lavrov.
