Europe pays for most military, non-military services strengthening its position in peace talks - Czech FM
Europe pays for most of the military and non-military services, which gives it a certain position in the peace talks, Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky has said.
"I think the next few days will show the results of these talks. And it is a fact that now Europe pays for most of the military and non-military services. Two years ago it was not like that. Now it is, and I think it gives it a certain position," he said at a press conference in Kyiv, answering journalists' questions about whether Europe has sufficient military power to support the peace talks.
