"Vladimir Putin tidak diragukan lagi mencoba untuk mendorong irisan ke aliansi Barat. Ketika berbicara tentang minoritas Rusia di Baltik, Putin pasti akan tahu bahwa peluangnya di sana sangat kecil. Mereka cukup nyaman di negara-negara itu. Tetapi saat ini, setidaknya ada tiga negara anggota UE di mana dipertanyakan apakah mereka masih berada di antara negara-negara demokrasi Barat: Hongaria, Rumania, dan Bulgaria."

Vladimir Putin is doubtlessly trying to drive a wedge into the Western alliance. When it comes to the Russian minorities in the Baltics, Putin will surely know that his chances there are slim to none. They are quite comfortable in those countries. But at the moment, there are at least three EU member-states where it is questionable whether they still belong among Western democracies: Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria.
