PRESS RELEASE Deputy Foreign Minister Vladimir Titov’s Conversations in Berlin http://www.ln.mid.ru/bdomp/brp_4.nsf/e78a48070f128a7b43256999005bcbb3/a6ce4aaf728f23a2c325791a002132e9!OpenDocument 1460-28-09-2011 Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Vladimir Titov met in Berlin with the German Chancellor’s foreign policy adviser, Christoph Heusgen, and also held consultations with Werner Hoyer, Minister of State at the Federal Foreign Office, and State Secretary of the Federal Foreign Office Emily Haber on September 27. A range of practical matters relating to bilateral cooperation in the light of the agreements reached at the end of the Summit-level Interstate Consultations (Hannover, July 18-19, 2011) was discussed. The parties clarified the schedule of political contacts for the near term, as well as the progress of preparation and the holding of the cross-cultural years of Russia in Germany and Germany in Russia in 2012-2013. They substantively examined topical international issues, including pan-European security and Russia-EU and Russia-NATO cooperation, and the situation in different regions of the world.
September 28, 2011 Poland and Russia differ on Smolensk disaster autopsy findingshttp://www.thenews.pl/1/9/Artykul/55973,Poland-and-Russia-differ-on-Smolensk-disaster-autopsy-findings 29.09.2011 10:35 Initial findings by Polish medics indicate that the Russian autopsy on Polish MP Zbigniew Wassermann, one of the victims of the 2010 Smolensk disaster, was only 7 to 10 percent correct in its analysis. The news threatens to undermine the entire series of autopsies carried out in Russia in the wake of the plane crash which killed President Lech Kaczynski and 95 others in western Russia last year. Zbigniew Wassermann, an MP for the Law and Justice party, was exhumed in August at the request of his family and approved by Poland's Chief Military Prosecutor's Office. As was clarified at the time, the action was not taken owing to doubts over the identity of the buried man, but rather over the details of the autopsy. Wassermann's remains were taken from Krakow to Wroclaw, south west Poland, where a second autopsy was conducted by the city's Medical Academy. Russian and Polish findings appear to tally only on the most basic matters, such as the height of the victim and the main external injuries. However, Polish medics claim that there are faults in such questions as the number and location of fractures. Furthermore, the Wroclaw specialists say that some organs were not even analysed by the Russian medics. Meanwhile, Jerzy Kawecki deputy leader of the team that led the Polish autopsy, told RMF FM Radio that it is necessary “to wait until all the results of the tests have been provided for consultative discussions.” The report will now be sent to the Chief Military Prosecutor's Office, which approved the Wassermann family's initial request for an exhumation.

Ex-communist Poland became a Nato member in 1999 while the three ex-Soviet Baltic states joined in 2004.
