🧠 In her opinion, the EU made a mistake by completely halting dialogue with the Kremlin after the start of the full-scale invasion. She proposed creating a special team of “wise men and women” to conduct behind-the-scenes negotiations.
🇪🇺 Pirc Musar also emphasized that Europe must take a more active role in negotiations between the U.S., russia, and Ukraine, even if previous diplomatic initiatives have not yielded results: “Dialogue, dialogue, and more dialogue is needed.”
💬 She said that she had already discussed this idea with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who confirmed that the issue is “being worked on.”
💶 The Slovenian President also warned that increasing defense spending should not lead to cuts in social funding.
