This is a very interesting article...
http://www.worldpoliticsreview.com/article.aspx?id=1429
It reflects what I have talked about a few times...
Especially these lines:
After the EU-Russia summit in October, President Putin announced the Russian government would establish its own "Institute for Freedom and Democracy in Europe."
Sergei Yastrzhembsky...indicated that Moscow wanted to establish the think tank in Brussels or another major West European capital and provide it with the same level of financing as the EU allocates to European nongovernmental organizations seeking to promote democracy in Russia.
This is very interesting...
By the way, Belarus, Russia and Uzbekistan's attempt to undermine the ODIHR - OSCE's election office failed. A resolution was defeated by the majority of the countries.
