As Kaliningrad's neighbors prepare to join the EU and NATO, one expert predicted it will become a point of entry into the EU for many of Russia's social ills.
Lithuania's former independence leader Vytautas Landsbergis, meanwhile, said the EU is buying regional stability by consenting to Russia's destruction of Chechnya.
Verhofstadt was touring the Baltic states as Belgium prepares for its presidency of the EU later this year. His comments coincided with the visit to Moscow and Kaliningrad of the EU's Commissioner for External Affairs, Chris Patten and Swedish Foreign Minister Anna Lindh.
