Thus, whether Europe effectively pursues its own interests in Eastern Europe will depend on coordination between the governments in Berlin and Warsaw, and between them and the EU in Brussels and the other member states. Germany and Poland should also jointly make sure that Europe’s interest in an independent and democratic Ukraine is not directed against anyone — not just in Kiev, but also in Moscow.
因此，欧洲是不是会在东欧坚决地贯彻自己的利益诉求，关键看柏林和华沙的政府是否能精诚合作，看它们同布鲁塞尔的欧盟政府和其他成员国是否能存异求同。德国和波兰还应该共同努力，确保欧洲的利益诉求 —— 一个独立和民主的乌克兰 —— 不会引起任何方面的不满，不仅是基辅方面，也包括莫斯科方面。
