MOSCOW, December 5 - RAPSI. The first report on human rights issues in the EU has been submitted by Foreign Ministry Commissioner for Human Rights, Democracy and the Rule of Law Konstantin Dolgov.

He said he plans to transfer the 73-page document to his EU colleagues over the next several days.

"The report in English will be handed to the EU special representative on human rights," Dolgov said.

He added that he will leave for Brussels on Wednesday to discuss such issues with an EU representative.

The report's aim, according to Dolgov, is to attract the attention of EU members states and EU supranational bodies to their own serious human rights issues at home.
"Many of them have a cross-border nature, and, hence, require united efforts of all the countries involved to resolve them as efficiently as possible," he said.
