Researcher - The EU's Eastern Neighbourhood and Russia research programme May 20, 2009 Tweeter 1: “is off to Russia to discuss the global crisis, transparency, mutual trust, interdependence, and predictability”. Tweeter 2: “wondering how to make the Russians stop thinking that our neighbourhood policies are not against them”. Tweeter 3: “is thinking that having summits twice a year is too much” Tweeter 4: “is looking forward to having a nice boat cruise with the guests from Brussels.” May 21, 2009 Tweeter 1:“Where are we? Does anyone have a map?” Tweeter 2: “I have some roadmaps for our common spaces with Russia” Tweeter 3: “Don’t be tweetards, these will not help. Doesn’t seem we are in the common space yet. Are we going to China?” Tweeter 4: “is happy the guests are enjoying the cruise.” Tweeter 2: “is thinking about Russia’s suggestion to pay Ukraine’s debt for the Russian gas out of EU’s taxpayers’ pockets. Hmmm” Tweeter 3: “Is confused. We wanted Russia to ratify the Energy Charter but now they want to us to sign another Energy Charter which they prepared. Maybe if we apply for membership in Russia-Belarus Union, Russia will ask for EU membership?” My 22, 2009 Tweeter 1:“got a free map and a pilot’s chart! Yay! Now ready to go home” Tweeter 2: “I should have taken a sick leave.” Tweeter 3: Is online but has their twitter status switched off. Tweeter 4: “is pleased with the outcome and is thinking where else to take the Europeans for the next summit”. Texts reflect the opinions of the individual authors |

Very funny. Is that all that your sence of humor allows? Very banal and drippy. Have you ever been in Far East? I guess no...So to write about the place you've never visited is the highest point of unskillfulness....
