Poland's fear of a German-Russian alliance

Jerzy Haszczyński comments on the meeting between German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Wiesbaden: "The difference between German-Russian relations during Schröder's time and those under Merkel is not that pronounced - at least as far as the crucial areas of economic policy and energy security are concerned. However, the meetings between the two heads of state take a different form and have a different atmosphere. There are no more visits to respective private residences, no more sleigh-riding and protestations that Putin really is a dedicated democrat. ... But in terms of interests and international politics, the alliance between Berlin and Moscow does assume a threatening aspect. It is a bond between giants who are not about to let the concerns of their smaller neighbours get in their way."
