LUXEMBOURG - Germany and Italy want the European Union to resume talks on a political and economic pact with Russia that were frozen owing to Moscow's war with Georgia.
Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini says it is time for the talks to resume now Russia has pulled back from positions in Georgia.
Britain and Sweden are more hesitant and want to see what progress is made during talks about security in Georgia later this week in Geneva.
EU foreign ministers were debating the Georgia crisis at talks Monday. An EU-Russia leaders summit is due to be held in November.
