EU Needs ‘Clear Aims’ for Stepping in as Peacekeeper

The EU is ready to contribute to the peacekeeping operation in Georgia’s conflict zones, but a clear and achievable objective is needed for a mission of this kind, EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana said after talks with Georgian leader Mikheil Saakashvili on February 26.

Speaking at a joint news conference Solana said that the issue was discussed during the meeting with Saakashvili, who is holding talks with EU and NATO officials in Brussels on February 26-27.

“I would like to state clearly that we are ready to help, to participate in all necessary missions as long as those missions have a clear objective, an objective that can be achieved; otherwise I think there’s no point served,” Solana said.
