Walesa and Havel write to Obama


Lech Walesa and Vaclav Havel have sent an official letter to the White House pleading not to forget about Eastern Europe. Obama's recent visit to Russia focused on mere Russian needs and not regional needs. The issue of the missile defense system signed during the Bush presidency with Poland and Czech Republic has not be resolved to this day as Russia pressures the United States to abolish the project. It is widely observed that Obama's international politics for the region evolve primarily around the Russian needs and such observation has started to induce serious concerns among Eastern European leaders. Hopefully the White House replies and we get to know their response.
