"The Council is very concerned about the situation in Chechnya, in particular as regards human rights, and it regularly stresses the need for a genuine reconciliation in its meetings with the Russian authorities. The Council has, on many occasions, stressed to the Russian authorities the important role of international organisations in promoting and implementing a process for a political solution in the region. Furthermore, it has called on the Russian authorities to independently investigate violations of human rights perpetrated by both sides and to bring those allegedly responsible for such acts to trial.
On 8 October 2003, the Presidency, on behalf of the European Union, issued a statement on the presidential elections in Chechnya. The Union expressed serious doubts about the fairness of the electoral process and grave concerns at the conditions in which the elections took place, but it also expressed the hope that these elections would lead to significant subsequent efforts to achieve a genuine reconciliation and peace. On a domestic level, the Union has discussed Chechnya in many meetings at all levels. In all recent political dialogue meetings with Russia, Chechnya was on the agenda: the meeting of political leaders of 12 September in Moscow, the EU-Russia Cooperation Committee
of 20 October, the Ministerial
of 28 October in Moscow. The issue was also raised at the EU-Russia Summit of 6 November 2003 in Rome."@en1
