Federal Chancellor of Austria Werner Faymann gave to understand that he will support the candidacy of the Minister of foreign Affairs of Italy Federici Mogherini as high envoy of the EU for foreign Affairs and security policy.

" Federica Mogherini is a great candidate. But it's still not resolved the issue, " said Faymann on arrival at the EU summit in Brussels on Wednesday. Then he reiterated that it considers Mogherini " very good candidate " and denied the existence of division among EU members on the issue.

according to Western media, the governments of the Baltic States and Poland are against Mogherini because it is too soft, in their vision, the lines of Italy on Russia in the process of falling in Ukraine, and support the candidacy of the Minister of foreign Affairs of Poland Radoslaw Sikorski.

" We're not talking about concrete persons. We speak about the experience as the criteria and of the neutrality position in the assessment of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia. We would like to see not programisci oriented personality (on a post of the great messenger for foreign policy) ", - said on Wednesday after arriving at the summit the head of Lithuania Dalia Grybauskaite.
