Ceasefire will allow more EU aid for Syria's Idlib: Top diplomat
The EU’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, on Friday welcomed a ceasefire deal between Moscow and Ankara to halt the bombing of Syria’s Idlib region, saying the bloc could now step up help for suffering civilians.
“The ceasefire is good news. Let’s see how it works, but it is a precondition to increase humanitarian help for the people in Idlib,” Borrell, the EU’s foreign policy chief, told reporters before chairing a meeting of EU foreign ministers in the Croatian capital.
Asked about a possible no-fly zone for Idlib, he said: “We have to concentrate our efforts on the humanitarian side.”
