site.btaVP Iotova: Europe Must Not Give in to Emotions after Munich Security Conference

Vice President Iliana Iotova commented on information that French President Emmanuel Macron will host a meeting of European leaders on the situation in Ukraine on Monday. She spoke Sunday in the Bulgarian News Agency (BTA) during the celebrations of its 127th anniversary. 

"A surprising meeting, I personally think it should take place with all leaders within the European Union (EU) and the UK. The initial information was that only some of the leaders were invited - a format for which we have no explanation yet why and what the argument was," Iotova said. 

"Europe at this moment should not give in to emotions, should not take rushed decisions after all that happened and was heard at the Munich Security Conference. It is necessary to discuss within the European institutions the future actions of the EU regarding both the war in Ukraine and the possible negotiations, and only then - after the agreement of all EU Member States - to take the decisions. Nobody has gained if they have taken hasty decisions under the pressure of emotions", she added.
