With the G8 summit less than 24 hours away, small post-Soviet country Georgia wants the EU to send a message to Russia to stop bullying its neighbours with economic blockades, amid escalating tension in the EU's Black Sea neighbourhood.
"We are not asking anyone to isolate Russia or to go back to Cold War language," Georgia's EU ambassador Salome Samadashvili told EUobserver on Thursday (13 July).
"But we hope the EU sends a message that if you want to be a member of the industrialised, democratic nations there are certain rules, that having energy reserves does not excuse everything."
