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.
I found goodwill in everybody -- and understanding -- but also some differences remain, ... I will keep in touch with all leaders. The government of unity is the best instrument to face the political challenge.
Without honest political dialogue it will be difficult to overcome the present situation. Therefore our aim is to ... help the development of that political dialogue.
The government in Macedonia is committed to move forward in the direction of political reforms and economic reforms and with inter-ethnic relationships so that it can become eventually a member of the European family institutionally.
NATO is resolved to persevere until the violence in Kosovo has ended and a political solution has been reached,
We want to prove to Lebanon our support in establishing strong relations on political and economic levels between Lebanon and the European Union.
I want to underline that the political process is back on track ... the cease-fire is back on track.
NATO continues to support a political solution which brings an end to the violence in Kosovo,
If the use of military force, or the threat of use of military force, is necessary to bring about a political solution, NATO is prepared to do it,
in order to support a diplomatic, political solution that we very much hope will come alive in coming days at the meetings taking place.
The EU remains willing to resume the negotiations we had with Tehran for a new political and economic relationship,
All the political parties have the right to be part of the elections, but there is a certain code of conduct that has to be accepted by everybody. It's very difficult that parties who do not condemn violence ... can be partners for the future.
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.
