The European Union (EU) spokesperson for Foreign Affairs reaffirmed on Friday that “neither the EU nor any of its member states recognize the +sadr+”.
This statement came as some separatist relays were over-communicating about the European Union-African Union ministerial meeting taking place on Friday in Rome.
Recalling that the EU-AU ministerial meetings are co-chaired and co-organized by the EU and the AU, the EU Foreign Affairs spokesperson pointed out that “the agreed modalities foresee that each party is responsible for inviting its own members.”
He therefore attributed the presence of this entity at the EU-AU ministerial meeting to the African Union, denying that the EU had invited the pseudo “sadr” to the said meeting.
“Invitations to African members are sent by the African Union,” he said.
In this context, the spokesman insisted that “the EU’s position is well known: neither the EU nor any of its member states recognize the sadr” and that the presence of this entity “at the EU-African Union ministerial meeting has no influence on this position.”
