BRUSSELS, August 15. /TASS/. EU foreign ministers will discuss the 19th package of sanctions against Russia at an informal meeting in Copenhagen on August 29-30, and this discussion will "certainly be influenced" by the results of the Russia-US summit in Anchorage, a source in one of the diplomatic missions in Brussels told TASS.
"A detailed discussion of the 19th package of sanctions against Russia will take place on August 29-30 in Copenhagen, where the next Gymnich (the format of informal meetings of EU foreign ministers held twice a year - TASS) will be held," the diplomat noted.
He was commenting on a statement from representative of the European Commission (EC) Ariana Podesta about the EC's intention to adopt the 19th package of sanctions against Russia "as early as September."
"A consensus from all EU countries is needed to approve each new package of sanctions, and the results of the US-Russia summit will certainly influence the mood of the member states," he said.
According to him, the EU foreign policy service "has not yet presented the community countries with a draft of the next sanctions package."
