The European envoy for negotiations on the resolution of the crisis in Ukraine must be acceptable to all parties to the conflict, said Deputy Prime Minister of the Czech Republic and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Petar Makinka.
"The chosen person must respect the West, but also be treated positively by the East. We can't just blindly elect someone short-sighted, with whom Russia will never hold talks. We also cannot elect someone that the Ukrainians will not trust," he noted.
