"EU struggles for unity on Russia at emergency talks

By Mark John

BRUSSELS, Sept 1 (Reuters) - EU leaders meet in an extraordinary session on Monday to try to unite behind a strong response to Russia's actions in Georgia, but Moscow warned it would hit back at any threat to its interests at home or abroad.

The meeting in Brussels follows weeks of discussions between EU member states over how far to go to punish Russia for its military campaign in Georgia and its subsequent recognition of Georgian breakaway regions South Ossetia and Abkhazia as independent states."
