I very much hope that common sense and intelligence will prevail and an agreement will be reached in the coming days,
I have been working very hard with your leaders and they have been working very hard to reach an agreement, ... grand government coalition.
We are looking with interest at that proposal. It is a proposal in which enrichment would be done outside, in Russia, but at the moment no agreement has been reached between Russia and Iran.
The peace agreement must be seen as a matter of urgency.
A new agreement will make it much easier for us to realize the full potential of our partnership and will be a strong signal of our mutual commitment to deepening our relationship.
The wealth of agreements we will be signing together on September 5 bears witness to the increasing levels of practical cooperation.
If that agreement is not implemented by force on the ground, it will not be effective.
What the European Union has decided is that the place where this has to be resolved is in the Security Council.
We have to do the utmost to maintain this relationship.
We are very concerned by the serious deterioration of the security situation in Gaza.
We are very close. The behavior of the Serbs' party in the conference in Paris has been really appalling,
We are trying to see how we can help to scale down the violence, and the situation of tension, and therefore to return to what is a dream of everybody, to try to negotiate a permanent peace.
We are trying to provide the necessary resources we hope that we will have enough money to support the Palestinian Authority until a new government is formed.
We think it is part of history, this embargo, but we have to find a manner and the moment in which it can be done without any difficulty, any problem.
