Medvedev wants better relationship with Obama

MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Dmitry Medvedev hopes for a better relationship with U.S. President-elect Barack Obama than he has with the current U.S. administration, he said in an interview broadcast Thursday.
Speaking in a televised interview with French journalists, Medvedev said he had had a good telephone conversation with Obama and that they had agreed they should meet face-to-face as soon as possible.

"I hope... we'll be able to find a way out of these (difficult) situations, which we haven't been able to do with our current colleagues," he said in a televised interview with French journalists.

"The new president has a big reserve of good-will. He was elected during a very difficult period. I wish him success in dealing with what lies before him," he said.

Last week, as congratulations poured in to Obama from around the world on his election victory, Medvedev gave a stern warning about U.S. plans to base missile defense units in Eastern Europe, saying Russia would react by basing short-range missiles in the western territory of Kaliningrad.
