Russia raps EU Parliament over election resolution

MOSCOW, July 7 | Thu Jul 7, 2011 8:11am EDT

MOSCOW, July 7 (Reuters) - Russia said on Thursday that a European Parliament resolution which called on Moscow to guarantee free elections and lift curbs on the main opposition party amounted to interference in its internal affairs.

"It is not news to me that the European Parliament once again is trying in such a crude manner to interfere in internal legislation," said Foreign Ministry's spokesman Alexander Lukashevich. (Reporting by Steve Gutterman; Writing by Gleb Bryanski)
