Summary/Abstract: Russian Federation’s foreign policy is strongly related to EU’s energy „hunger”. In Russian foreign policy’s equation, a great importance is given to natural gas export and to the dependency rate of the European states on it. Russia’s discriminating attitude and each country’s interests make a common European energy policy impossible to achieve in the near future. If the European Commission makes such a decision, it would shelter the European Union members and non-members of a possible shakedown.
