Russia will continue to push for a pan-European security treaty, President Dmitry Medvedev said on Tuesday after talks with his German counterpart Christian Wulff.
The initiative has been "not recalled, not shelved," Medvedev said.
"We will continue to push for it and we believe it will be discussed in the future," Medvedev said, adding that Russia plans to develop all forms of cooperation with the EU and NATO.
The Russian president emphasized that a dialog on establishing a united European security should continue as there is no common platform in Europe where this problem may be discussed.
"Europe security should be united; it should not be divided into parts and fragments," he said.
NATO should take into account Russian proposals on providing global security, Wulff said.
"Issues of missile defense and defense architecture are being discussed very emotionally...these issues may be solved if the interests of the opposite party are really taken seriously," Wulff said.
"There is a specific Russian position which we must take into account," he added.
Medvedev first proposed drawing up a new pan-European security pact in June 2008.
Russia pushed ahead with a draft of the treaty on November 29, 2009, sending copies to heads of state and international organizations, including NATO.
Western nations have been extremely reluctant to support Russia's initiative, with NATO head Anders Fogh Rasmussen saying there is no need for it.
