Thank you, ... Croatian Radio Television.
I want to ask something about planned negotiations between Russia, Ukraine and the United States.
So, Kremlin spokesperson just said that at some stage,
the participation of European representatives will be necessary,
will be, will be needed, so.
Is the Commission preparing for that stage of the negotiations?
Is it prepared to send someone to negotiate?
Of course we are prepared and we have been preparing for a long time and we just are looking forward to the moment where indeed Russia will be ready to engage in real discussions and in real terms to put an end to this war. Any other questions?
Not today, so we wish you a good,
hopefully also a long weekend, and wish you a good afternoon.
