Keywords: US; Russia; EU; NATO; security; Lithuania; international relations
Summary/Abstract: The author doubts that U.S. official assurances that Europe will remain the centre of its attention are true. Pranevičiūtė says that U.S.–Europe relations got cold after the inauguration of Barack Obama, even though Europeans wanted to see Obama as a new president of the USA. The author maintains that the reduced U.S. attention to Europe will make European countries look for closer collaboration with Russia. It may increase Russia’s impact on the EU policy.
