Russians have positive image of relations with EU, opinion poll reveals

 
A vast majority of Russians have a positive image of their country’s relations with the EU. This was just one of the findings of a wide-ranging survey carried out as part of the Opinion Polling and Research (OPPOL) project, funded under the 2007-2010 European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI) regional information and communication programme.
 
The survey aimed to generate better information about awareness, understanding and perception of the EU and the role it plays in Russia. The first phase was a baseline study, which interviewed opinion leaders to evaluate their perception, knowledge and appraisal of the EU. The second phase involved an opinion poll which questioned members of the general public.

 

The majority of opinion leaders are very positive about Russian-EU relations, with 88% saying Russia has good or fairly good relations with the EU. Some 69% of the general public describes relations between the EU and Russia as good.
