Damascus can count on EU assistance in the post-war reconstruction of the country. This was stated by the head of European diplomacy of the EU Federica Magerini. According to her, the main thing for Brussels is "caring for the Syrian people", and it does not matter where: in the territory of the ATS or outside it. "The European Union would be willing to contribute to the restoration of Syria," but on certain "political conditions," said Magerini. "I see a window of opportunities, if the situation in Idlib will develop according to the memorandum signed by Russia and Turkey," the diplomat explained.. In her opinion, "the constitutional committee will be able to start work to begin the political process and involve the international community," RIA Novosti writes..

Otherwise, the EU will not see the field for charitable activities in the UAR, Magerini. Recall that the EU imposed sanctions against the Syrian authorities, accusing them of the death of civilians. In May 2018. sanctions were extended for another year. Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan agreed on the creation by October 15 of a buffer zone along the contact line in the Syrian province of Idlib. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres welcomed this achievement in the Syrian settlement, RIA FAN.
