📢As of 1st July @EU_Commission will partially re-open the press room. Although the virtual press room will still be a recommended option, we will implement a hybrid system with journalists joining us remotely and in person. See you soon!
In Berlin for the 2nd Libya conference - thank you @HeikoMaas and @antonioguterres for making today’s meeting happen.
Two crucial milestones ahead of us:
- organisation of elections in Libya
- full implementation of the ceasefire agreement.
EU will continue to provide support.
This Hungarian bill is a shame.
It discriminates people on the basis of their sexual orientation & goes against the EU's fundamental values.
We will not compromise.
I will use all the legal powers of @EU_Commission to ensure that the rights of all EU citizens are guaranteed.
Important to exchange with Prime Minister designate @saadhariri about the prospects of government formation in #Lebanon.
Political stalemate needs to be overcome for the benefit of the Lebanese people.
HRVP in Lebanon: The EU is ready to assist 🇱🇧 If obstruction continues, the EU will consider other actions. Sanctions are on the table, we are studying them but nothing is decided yet. We would prefer not to go down this route, but it is in the hands of the Lebanese leadership👇
Caretaker Prime Minister @Hassan_B_Diab and I discussed the economic situation in the country, which continues to spiral down to the detriment of the Lebanese people.
The EU is ready to help but an #IMF programme needs to be in place. This is what we expect from the leadership.
J’ai commencé ma visite au #Liban ce matin avec un entretien avec son excellence, le Président Aoun @LBpresidency.
J’ai passé un message de solidarité de l’UE envers la population libanaise mais aussi pour exiger que la classe politique prenne ses responsabilités.
Met Minister @JZarif to discuss #JCPOA.
Welcomed progress made over last weeks, but difficult decisions remain. It is important to seize the political opportunity, and for all to be flexible. In view of today's Presidential elections, I called for continued commitment by Iran.
