Federica Mogherini confirmed that the EU supports the peace plan to put an end to the Yemeni conflict, as proposed by Griffiths.
It is expected that the EU foreign ministers will stress on the priorities to avoid targeting Yemeni civilians in Hodeidah port city and hasten plans to bring all concerned parties back to the negotiating table.
Maja Kosigancic, the spokesperson for EU Foreign Affairs & Security Affairs, also said: “We call on all parties involved in the conflict to resume the negotiations as we believe that there is no military solution to the conflict, and any solution to the crisis will only be through negotiation tools under the UN supervision.”
The major European countries - France, Italy, Germany and Britain - are trying to pressure Houthis to accept a political solution to the Yemen's conflict.
All parties are convinced that the military balance is not in the Houthis favor and that the solution cannot be a military one and that the militias should agree to cooperate with the UN special envoy.
