The European Political Community (EPC) summit meeting in Dublin today will focus primarily on issues concerning Ukraine and Moldova, Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin told journalists ahead of the EPC summit.
According to Report‘s correspondent in Dublin, he said that considerable attention would be devoted to Ukraine and Moldova, adding that meetings of the Friends of Moldova and Friends of Ukraine groups would be held.
Asked about the prospects of developing a common, consolidated European position ahead of potential future negotiations with the Russian Federation, Martin said the issue would most likely be discussed on the sidelines of the summit, while more formal discussions would take place tomorrow over lunch at an informal meeting of the European Council.
He added that European leaders would certainly like to see some progress on the matter.
The prime minister also noted that, alongside issues concerning Ukraine and Moldova, broader topics would also be discussed.
