“One of the questions is when we will be able in the future to consider the adjustment of the sanctions framework. It is clear that this is not a question for today, but mainly for the future.”

The European Union will not lift the sanctions imposed on Syria until the new leaders ensure that minorities are not persecuted, and that women’s rights are protected within a unified government that renounces religious extremism, said Kaja Kallas, the new High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.

A meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels, to be held in Brussels on Monday and with Syria on its agenda, will not consider extending European economic support to the country beyond the financial aid provided by the EU through UN services, according to Kallas’s statement.

“One of the questions is when we will be able to consider adjusting the sanctions framework in the future. It is clear that this is not a question for today, but mainly for the future, when we will have seen that steps are being taken in the right direction,” Kallas said during an interview with Reuters news agency.
