The Russian Government has postponed an EU-Russia Summit due to take place on 11 November 2004. The Kremlin blames the decision on the EU's failure to put in place a new European Commission. However, some EU sources say the delay is linked to Russia's reluctance to negotiate over issues such as human rights.
