TODAY: OSCE ministers to hear Medvedev’s security measures; de Hoop Scheffer says Russia considers itself ‘victimized’; President is in India offering support to combat terrorism; Putin’s economy-focused question and answer sessions begins today.

Russian comments following the NATO veto look like ‘gloating‘, says this article, quoting the head of the Duma’s International Affairs Committee who said that NATO membership for Georgia and Ukraine ‘is an utterly American project, which has had a lot of money and effort poured into it‘.  NATO secretary-general Jaap de Hoop Scheffer says ‘It’s not so easy to know how to approach someone, in daily life or in foreign policy, who feels themselves victimized‘. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will present a series of new security proposals by President Dmitry Medvedev at a two-day meeting of leading foreign ministers from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
