MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russia and Europe will no longer be able to build relations as before, and Moscow will take into account the existing experience, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday.
"It is clear that these will be agreements on new options of relations. It will not be possible to build relations as before, and no one will want it, first of all us," Peskov told reporters.
Russia has extensive experience in relations with European countries, which will always be taken into account when building such relations, the spokesman added.

Russia Poses No Threat to Anyone in Europe

"We [Russia and Europe] will still have to agree on how we will live," Peskov told reporters, adding that Russia, as a country that poses no threat to anyone in Europe, expects that no one in Europe poses a threat to it either.

European Parliament Perpetuates Russophobia

The European Parliament has long taken the position of Russophobia and people are hardly ready to listen to its statements, the spokesman noted.

European lawmakers passed a resolution on Thursday concerning Russia's alleged propaganda efforts and interference in the European Parliament elections in June, urging EU member states to respond.

"These are hardly statements that we are ready to listen to. Actually, the European Parliament has long stopped at the positions of strong, consistent Russophobia, and, of course, contrary to, probably, the main vocation of parliamentarians is to build a dialogue and look for ways to build a dialogue, it has turned into a machine of such outrageous statements, internal contradictions and so on. That is how we treat it," Peskov said, commenting on the Kremlin's view of the resolution.

Any contacts between the heads of Russia and China in our time are events that attract the attention of the whole world," he said, adding that the agenda includes many issues.
