TODAY: Medvedev’s Polish meet is successful; EU-Russia talks to focus on WTO accession; new WikiLeaks reveal secret NATO plans to protect Baltic States; media control originates in poor profitability?; Putin’s United Russia comments contradict Medvedev’s state-of-the-nation address?; Glonass to be probed after crash.
Following a ‘breakthrough‘ meeting with the Polish Prime Minister in which the two sides pledged to continue improving ties and Dmitry Medvedev promised to open archives on the Katyn massacre, the President will attend EU talks today.  The meeting is expected to produce approval for Russia’s World Trade Organization bid, although disagreements over the question of Transdnestr could prove an obstacle to discussions on forming a Security Committee.  According to new WikiLeaks, NATO drew up secret plans earlier this year to defend the Baltic states against Russia.  Other documents offer ‘insights‘ into Russian security service heads, says the Washington Post, although this one in particular contains comments from a senior diplomat about security heads he had yet to meet.
