European Union (EU) Ambassador here Ivan Surkoš on Wednesday asserted that the EU stance on the two-state solution for the Palestinian issue is stable.

He said in press statements that the status of Al Quds city should be decided through negotiations.

All EU member states that are represented in the United Nations Security Council (France, Britain, Italy and Sweden) voted for a draft resolution that was sponsored by Egypt on Al Quds.

The EU had voiced concern after a decision by US President Donald Trump recognizing Al Quds as the capital of Israel. The EU expressed apprehension over the consequences of the decision and its impact on peace opportunities in the Middle East.
