Czech president: Europe must close “gap” and play more active role in Ukraine peace talks

Czech President Petr Pavel made this statement during a panel discussion at the Berlin Global Dialogue conference in Berlin on Thursday, according to a Ukrinform correspondent. “I personally believe that our American allies do not necessarily represent European interests in the best way. That is precisely why I am firmly convinced that Europe must become more actively involved in the negotiations, have a clear vision of what the outcome should be and what the limits of the negotiations are, and propose alternatives that will make it possible to conduct the negotiations,” Pavel said.
