(Adnkronos) – EU foreign ministers “have just agreed a roadmap to ease sanctions on Syria. While our aim is to move quickly, the lifting of sanctions can be reversed if wrong steps are taken”. This was announced in a post on social media by Kaja Kallas, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs, following the EU Council meeting.
The easing of sanctions against Syria “does not concern weapons”, Kallas said at a press conference in Brussels, stressing once again that the EU’s approach to lifting sanctions will be “gradual”.
