President Rosen Plevneliev said in Berlin that the EU member states must work to come up with a unified position on the crisis in Ukraine. “Currently debates are held on all levels and I think that the European leaders are willing to reach consensus in the diplomatic sphere and to contribute to a peaceful and democratic solution to the crisis. This means that not only Russia, but also the European Union should guarantee the Ukrainian people the chance to conduct elections and, if necessary, a referendum,” the Head of State commented after holding a meeting with Frank-Walter Steinmeier, foreign minister of Germany.
