BRUSSELS (Reuters) -European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said on Tuesday that she hoped ministers gathering in Brussels would reach an agreement on lifting economic sanctions on Syria.
Ministers are considering a political decision to lift economic sanctions while maintaining sanctions related to the Assad regime and introducing measures against human rights violators, officials said.
“It is clear that we want there to be jobs and livelihoods for the people (in Syria), so that it would be a more stable country,” Kallas said.
