Carl Bildt
'Despite close relationship and partnership between Sweden and Russia, there are issues on which the two countries have different positions and these differences also refer to Georgia,` Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt announced in his interview with the Radio Echo Moskvy.
Bildt also spoke about the Iskander missile defence system, which Russia plans to station in Kaliningrad and said the issue was a kind of political game by Russian authorities.
`Discussion of similar issues would have been much reasonable at the table of negotiations. Russia does have anti-missile system around Moscow and it means that they see the danger and this can be understood. However, the problem must be solved in the way that the process does not deteriorate relations with other partners in Europe,` Carl Bildt said.
