Those crazy Russians!!! The Litvinenko case is so horrible. Poor man, no matter what he did he should not have died in such a terrible way.

I can understand that Russia does not surrender Lugovoi though - everyone who has been reading British papers *knows* that he is guilty, so he would not get a fair trial at all.

That murder case is the craziest I have ever heard of. How can anyone dream up such a crazy way of killing someone. Why didn't they just shoot him? (not that I approve of killing people whatsoever).

But I don't see how this isolated incident is relavant to the visa negotiations.
I think it's a really urgent priority for Europe to get rid of travel restrictions for European citizens on the European continent. I think it's more important than nukes - that's a long term issue to get rid of those.
