News in Brief

05 February 2004UnknownItaly: Chechnya Better MOSCOW (AP) -- Italian Foreign Minister Franco Franetti said Wednesday that he perceives Russia's attention to human rights in Chechnya as increasing. ""What we noted is the existence of a desire, an inclination for transparency in all that is happening in Chechnya, especially the attention to human rights,"" Franetti said after meeting with Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov. Western human rights organizations have frequently criticized Russia for severe human rights violations in Chechnya, which has been in the grip of war for most of the past decade. A constitutional referendum and presidential elections were held there last year as part of the Kremlin's strategy to portray Chechnya as stabilizing through political means, but human rights groups denounced the voting as rigged. Franetti said the European Union is considering opening a ""representative office"" in Chechnya or neighboring Ingushetia.
