Text of the page (random words):
that the united states is likely to lose many of its traditional interlocutors in the region the new elites replacing them may not share the idealism or have the same relationship to the united states as the generation who led the democratic transition they may be more calculating in their support of the united states as well as more parochial in their world view and in washington a similar transition is taking place as many of the leaders and personalities we have worked with and relied on are also leaving politics a time to reinvest then there is the issue of how to deal with russia our hopes that relations with russia would improve and that moscow would finally fully accept our complete sovereignty and independence after joining nato and the eu have not been fulfilled instead russia is back as a revisionist power pursuing a 19th century agenda with 21st century tactics and methods at a global level russia has become on most issues a status quo power but at a regional level and vis à vis our nations it increasingly acts as a revisionist one it challenges our claims to our own historical experiences it asserts a privileged position in determining our security choices it uses overt and covert means of economic warfare ranging from energy blockades and politically motivated investments to bribery and media manipulation in order to advance its interests and to challenge the transatlantic orientation of central and eastern europe we welcome the reset of the american russian relations as the countries living closest to russia obviously nobody has a greater interest in the development of the democracy in russia and better relations between moscow and the west than we do but there is also nervousness in our capitals we want to ensure that too narrow an understanding of western interests does not lead to the wrong concessions to russia today the concern is for example that the united states and the major european powers might embrace the medvedev plan for a concert of powers to replace the continent s existing value based security structure the danger is that russia s creeping intimidation and influence peddling in the region could over time lead to a de facto neutralization of the region there are differing views within the region when it comes to moscow s new policies but there is a shared view that the full engagement of the united states is needed many in the region are looking with hope to the barack obama administration to restore the atlantic relationship as a moral compass for their domestic as well as foreign policies a strong commitment to common liberal democratic values is essential to our countries we know from our own historical experience the difference between when the united states stood up for its liberal democratic values and when it did not our region suffered when the united states succumbed to realism at the yalta conference february 1945 and it benefited when the united states used its power to fight for principle that was critical during the cold war and in opening the doors of nato if a realist view had prevailed in the early 1990s we would not be in nato today and the idea of a europe whole free and at peace would be a distant dream we understand the heavy demands on your administration and on us foreign policy it is not our intent to add to the list of problems you face rather we want to help by being strong atlanticist allies in a us european partnership that is a powerful force for good around the world but we are not certain where our region will be in five or ten years time given the domestic and foreign policy uncertainties we face we need to take the right steps now to ensure the strong relationship between the united states and central and eastern europe over the past twenty years will endure we believe this is a time both the united states and europe need to reinvest in the transatlantic relationship we also believe this is a time when the united states and central and eastern europe must reconnect around a new and forward looking agenda while recognising what has been achieved in the twenty years since the fall of the iron curtain it is time to set a new agenda for close cooperation for the next twenty years across the atlantic a new programme therefore we propose the following six steps first we are convinced that america needs europe and that europe needs the united states as much today as in the past the united states should reaffirm its vocation as a european power and make clear that it plans to stay fully engaged on the continent even while it faces the pressing challenges in afghanistan and pakistan the wider middle east and asia for our part we must work at home in our own countries and in europe more generally to convince our leaders and societies to adopt a more global perspective and be prepared to shoulder more responsibility in partnership with the united states second we need a renaissance of nato as the most important security link between the united states and europe it is the only credible hard power security guarantee we have nato must reconfirm its core function of collective defense even while we adapt to the new threats of the 21st century a key factor in our ability to participate in nato s expeditionary missions overseas is the belief that we are secure at home we must therefore correct some self inflicted wounds from the past it was a mistake not to commence with proper article 5 related defence planning for new members after nato was enlarged nato needs to make the alliance s commitments credible and provide strategic reassurance to all members this should include contingency planning prepositioning of forces equipment and supplies for reinforcement in our region in case of crisis as originally envisioned in the nato russia founding act we should also rethink the working of the nato russia council and return to the practice where nato member countries enter into dialogue with moscow with a coordinated position when it comes to russia our experience has been that a more determined and principled policy toward moscow will not only strengthen the west s security but will ultimately lead moscow to follow a more cooperative policy as well furthermore the more secure we feel inside nato the easier it will also be for our countries to reach out to engage moscow on issues of common interest that is the dual track approach we need and which should be reflected in the new nato strategic concept third the thorniest issue may well be america s planned missile defence installations here too there are different views in the region including among our publics which are divided regardless of the military merits of this scheme and what washington eventually decides to do the issue has nevertheless also become at least in some countries a symbol of america s credibility and commitment to the region how it is handled could have a significant impact on their future transatlantic orientation the small number of missiles involved cannot be a threat to russia s strategic capabilities and the kremlin knows this we should decide the future of the programme as allies and based on the strategic plusses and minuses of the different technical and political configurations the alliance should not allow the issue to be determined by unfounded russian opposition abandoning the programme entirely or involving russia too deeply in it without consulting poland or the czech republic can undermine the credibility of the united states across the whole region fourth we know that nato alone is not enough we also want and need more europe and a better and more strategic us eu relationship as well increasingly our foreign policies are carried out through the european union and we support that we also want a common european foreign and defence policy that is open to close cooperation with the united states we are the advocates of such a line in the eu but we need the united states to rethink its attitude toward the eu and engage it much more seriously as a strategic partner we need to bring nato and the eu closer together and make them work in tandem we need common nato and eu strategies not only toward russia but on a range of other new strategic challenges fifth is energy security the threat to energy supplies can exert an immediate influence on our nations political sovereignty also as allies contributing to common decisions in nato that is why it must also become a transatlantic priority although most of the responsibility for energy security lies within the realm of the eu the united states also has a role to play absent american support the baku tbilisi ceyhan pipeline would never have been built energy security must become an integral part of us european strategic cooperation central and eastern european countries should lobby harder and with more unity inside europe for diversification of the energy mix suppliers and transit routes as well as for tough legal scrutiny of russia s abuse of its monopoly and cartel like power inside the eu but american political support on this will play a crucial role similarly the united states can play an important role in solidifying further its support for the nabucco pipeline particularly in using its security relationship with the main transit country turkey as well as the north south inter connector of central europe and lng terminals in our region sixth we must not neglect the human factor our next generations need to get to know each other too we have to cherish and protect the multitude of educational professional and other networks and friendships that underpin our friendship and alliance the us visa regime remains an obstacle in this regard it is absurd that poland and romania arguably the two biggest and most pro american states in the cee region which are making substantial contributions in iraq and afghanistan have not yet been brought into the visa waiver programme it is incomprehensible that a critic like the french anti globalisation activist josé bové does not require a visa for the united states but former solidarity activist and nobel peace prizewinner lech walesa does this issue will be resolved only if it is made a political priority by the president of the united states the steps we made together since 1989 are not minor in history the common successes are the proper foundation for the transatlantic renaissance we need today this is why we believe that we should also consider the creation of a legacy fellowship for young leaders twenty years have passed since the revolutions of 1989 that is a whole generation we need a new generation to renew the transatlantic partnership a new programme should be launched to identify those young leaders on both sides of the atlantic who can carry forward the transatlantic project we have spent the last two decades building in central and eastern europe the key to success in conclusion the onset of a new administration in the united states has raised great hopes in our countries for a transatlantic renewal it is an opportunity we dare not miss we the authors of this letter know

united states was critical to locking in peace and stability from the baltic states to the black sea today the goal must be to keep central and eastern europe right as a stable activist and atlanticist part of our broader community that is the key to our success in bringing about the renaissance in the alliance your administration has committed itself to work for and which we support that will require both sides recommitting to and investing in this relationship but if we do it right the pay off down the road can be very real by taking the right steps now we can put it on new and
