Anadolu Agency EN·FR · DE · ES·2 days ago
Lithuania's foreign minister advocates for more flexible EU decision-making on foreign policy, suggesting qualified majority voting for certain issues while preserving the veto for fundamental national security interests. This signals a push to reduce gridlock in EU external action, but faces resistance from states wary of losing sovereignty. The proposal could reshape EU cohesion on sanctions and diplomatic stances if adopted.
