BLANAR: BRUSSELS AWARE THAT SOLUTION TO CONFLICT CAN ONLY BE FOUND THROUGH DIALOGUE

BRATISLAVA, MAY 29 /SRNA/ - The European Union understands that the conflict in Ukraine can only be resolved through dialogue, Slovakia's Minister of Foreign and European Affairs Juraj Blanar said.

"Unfortunately, the EU has found itself in a dead end due to its own mistaken actions /in resolving the conflict in Ukraine/. We are not at the negotiating, but we all understand that this conflict can only be resolved through dialogue. However, the EU is unable to organize this dialogue because it is not at the negotiating table," Blanar said in a video published on Facebook.

Blanar emphasized the need for a swift resolution to the conflict in Ukraine.

"For us, the EU, ending this war is a matter of great importance. This must be achieved as soon as possible," said Blanar.

He warned that if the process of finding solution is delayed, there will be major negative consequences, and not only for Ukraine itself.

"The ongoing conflict also has a huge negative economic impact on the EU, on its competitiveness and security," Blanar concluded.
