No sign of a compromise yet

We'll have to continue waiting for a compromise on which everyone can agree, writes the daily Delo: "The scenario in Brussels resembled a Euro-Atlantic game of pétanque, in which a strategic rapprochement was substituted for the taking out of the opponent's balls (because of the Georgia conflict in August) - a game of bowling in which enough space was left for a Georgian and Ukrainian 'ball' in the event that Washington decides to pass the ball to [Russian President Dmitry] Medvedev. And at least it looks like there's still enough room for an independent European throw as well. Another thing that was symptomatic of the Brussels meeting was [French President Nicolas Sarkozy's] positive attitude towards Russia's initiative for forming an entirely new 'European security architecture', as well as the response of America and Britain that Nato and the OSCE [Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe] were adequate for guaranteeing Europe's security."
