• Sofia supports the peace plan in Ukraine, but wants EU's interests to be taken into account

“Every country must be equally represented at the negotiating table when its future is being discussed”, Rosen Zhelyazkov emphasized. Participants agreed that the agreement reached in Geneva between representatives of the United States, European partners, and Ukraine represents a realistic and sustainable framework upon which the international community can build to advance the process of achieving a just and lasting peace in Ukraine, BTA reports. The peace plan will be discussed on November 26 by EU foreign ministers via videoconference.
