CAN RUSSIA, EU AGREE ON CHECHNYA? MOSCOW (RIA Novosti political commentator Vladimir Simonov) - Chechnya seems to have ceased to be the apple of discord in Russia-EU relations. In the past, the EU accused Moscow of human rights abuses in Chechnya, while the Kremlin said the EU used double standards, dividing international terrorists into bad (those who threatened the West) and good (those who operated in Chechnya).

The European Human Rights Court has partially fulfilled the claim filed by the group of Chechens against Georgia and Russia. According to the written decision that was circulated on Tuesday by the Strasbourg HQs of the court, complaints from 13 people had been considered within the case of «Shamayev and others against Georgia and Russia."
