Выступая после завершения саммита, президент Ван Ромпей заявил, что в ходе встречи он также "поднял вопрос о необходимости укрепления сотрудничества по безопасности в Европе, начиная с затяжных конфликтов у наших общих соседей".

Президент добавил:

"Я напомнил, что нам нужно всеобъемлющее урегулирование приднестровского конфликта. Основные принципы будущего урегулирования должны быть согласованы сейчас. Это конфликт, который может быть решен.

Мы призываем к продолжению взаимодействия и сотрудничества по Нагорному Карабаху в поддержке существующих переговорных процессов. Мы приветствуем позитивные изменения в российско-грузинских отношениях. Важно укрепить стабильность на Кавказе, на основе уважения принципов суверенитета и территориальной целостности."
