The European Union has initiated a temporary suspension of sanctions against Syria, contingent on progress in the country. The first sectors to be eased include banking, energy, and transport, aimed at aiding reconstruction and stability. High Representative Kaja Kallas emphasized the need for political will and technical resolutions before the suspension takes effect. The sanctions relief is a significant decision following the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad's regime. Conditions for relief include protecting minorities and human rights, with a roadmap for a new constitution and elections. The EU remains cautious, with a mechanism to reinstate sanctions if necessary. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
