According to the politician, European countries should independently choose their representative for this process.
I certainly have no such ambitions. I would, of course, be happy to share my experience with both NATO and the European Union. But, of course, the European states themselves must say whom they see as their representative
According to The Telegraph, the Czech leader is among the five politicians whom Europeans are considering as the chief negotiator with Russian ruler Vladimir Putin on ending the war in Ukraine. At the same time, according to Pavel, no relevant negotiations have been held so far.
"I understand that my name has been mentioned ... in connection with several others, but I would call this a journalistic conclusion. So there have definitely been no negotiations," the Czech president concluded.

The previous day, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said that Europe risks losing its significance in any peace negotiations concerning Ukraine if it does not stop the practice of competing diplomatic initiatives and agree on the candidacy of a single representative authorized to speak on its behalf.
