European Union tyros want EU's more active participation in resolution of frozen conflicts
New member states of the European Union will try this week to divert the EU focus from the Mediterranean region to the eastern neighbors, which are deprived of Brussels' attention, in their opinion.

Romania Libera, with a reference to Reuters, reports that last Saturday before the ENP conference the Foreign Ministers of Poland, Czechia, Hungary, Slovakia and the Baltic states met with their counterparts from Ukraine, Moldavia, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan.

The states, which joined the EU in 2004 suppose that the "union has concentrated on Middle East and Northern Africa to the prejudice of the former soviet republics where Russia tries to block West's influence."

The EU tyros also want the organization to deeper engage in the resolution of frozen conflicts on the territory of former USSR.
