We are very close. The behavior of the Serbs' party in the conference in Paris has been really appalling,
We're going to continue working politically ... the behavior (of the Russians) is completely unacceptable,
The military clock is ticking. It can be stopped, of course, if a change in behavior of the Serbian side is produced in a very short period of time.
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 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.
We think it is part of history, this embargo.
I very much hope that common sense and intelligence will prevail and an agreement will be reached in the coming days,
It would be very difficult for the help and the money that goes to the Palestinian Authority to continue to flow. The taxpayers in the European Union, members of the Parliament of the European Union, will not be in a position to sustain that type of political activity.
These (election) results may confront us with an entirely new situation which will need to be analyzed.
The situation is not easy ... but I don't doubt that we will find a solution,
