The Supreme Representative for Foreign Policy and Security of the European Union Javier Solan carefully monitors the development of events in Ukraine , his press secretary Christina Gallalak said on Tuesday.
“Mr. Solan is in constant contact with the ambassadors of the EU countries in Kyiv and receives information from them,” she told Interfax. “We are still refraining from comments.”
Gallal recalled that last week, speaking in the European Parliament in Brussels, Solan expressed serious concern in connection with the developing political situation in Ukraine.
Some observers do not exclude that Javier Solan may again act as an intermediary in resolving a difficult political situation in Ukraine, as was the case during the "Orange Revolution". Then Solan took part in three rounds of multilateral negotiations with the participation of international intermediaries to resolve the political crisis in Ukraine after the second round of the presidential election.
Recall that in early March, President of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko stated after a meeting with Javier Solana in Brussels that he hopes for the help of the European Union in normalizing relations between the institutions of power in Ukraine, "as it was two or two and a half years ago." In turn, Solan noted that the situation of the President, as well as the Prime Minister, has a permission formed between the Verkhovna Rada and the President. At the same time, the EU Supreme representative expressed confidence in the leadership of the Ukrainian president.
