Брюссельская конференция подчеркивает важность мер по укреплению доверия для разрешения конфликтов.

На конференции, посвященной нерешенным конфликтам в Восточной Европе, состоявшейся в Брюсселе во вторник, 17 декабря, многими из докладчиков и участников была отмечена важность мер по построению доверия, как способа помочь урегулированию конфликтов.

Конференция на тему "Установление мира в странах восточных соседей ЕС - вызовы, перспективы и возможности для ОБСЕ и ЕС" была организовано Европейским центром политики (EPC) и Инициативой по управлению конфликтами (CMI) в сотрудничестве с литовским председательством в Европейском Союзе.

Вопрос о мерах по построению доверия занимал видное место в рамках первой дискуссии, в ходе которой были рассмотрены события последних двух десятилетий. Выступающие подчеркнули, что такие меры необходимы для того, чтобы создать благоприятные условия для сторон вести переговоры и избежать неправильного восприятия. Об особом значении этого было сказано в контексте конфликта вокруг Нагорного Карабаха. Эта точка зрения была поддержана представителями посольств Азербайджана и Армении, которые были в числе ста или около того участников мероприятия, и кто в своих выступлениях также упоминал о текущей работе над вопросом и о необходимости мер по укреплению доверия, хотя  относительно того, какие меры должны быть приоритетными были высказаны различные мнения.

Участники дискуссии также упомянули самые важные недавние события, включая саммите в Вильнюсе, события в Украине и недавнюю встречу президентов Армении и Азербайджана.

Borrell tells the European Parliament that the situation in Afghanistan was critical, but the EU will remain engaged

Borrell underlined that the European Union will make every effort to support the peace process and to remain a committed partner to the Afghan people. "Of course, we will have to take into account the evolving situation, but disengagement is not an option.  We are clear on that: there is no alternative to a negotiated political settlement, through inclusive peace talks.

Turkiye to host COP31 in 2026

Turkiye to host COP31 in 2026

A consensus has emerged during COP 30, currently being held in Belan, Brazil, that COP 31 will be held in the Turkish city of Antalya, in 2026. In 2026 Turkiye will host another global event, the NATO leaders summit. Turkiye is set to host COP31 after reaching compromise with Australia.  The COP31 climate meeting is now expected to be held in Turkey after Australia dropped its bid to host the annual event. Under the UN rules, the right to host the COP in 2026 falls to a group of countries made up of Western Europe, Australia and others. A consensus must be reached but neither country had been willing to concede. Australia has now agreed to support the Turkish bid in return for their minister chairing the talks following negotiations at COP30, currently being held in Brazil. This unusual arrangement has taken observers by surprise. It is normal for a COP president to be from the host country and how this new partnership will work in practice remains to be seen. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called the compromise with Turkey an "outstanding result" in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), noting Pacific issues would be "front and centre". He added that he had spoken to Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape and Prime Minister Rabuka of Fiji. There will be relief among countries currently meeting at COP30 in the Brazilian city of Belém that a compromise has been reached as the lack of agreement on the venue was becoming an embarrassment for the UN.
