PRAGUE, Czech Republic, Feb. 9 (UPI) -- The Czech Republic could be an effective mediator in Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations, Czech Prime Minister Jan Fischer said Tuesday.
Speaking at a Prague conference marking the 20th anniversary of the resumption of diplomatic relations between the Czech Republic and Israel, Fischer said his country's uniquely friendly relations with both the Israeli and Arab camps could prove effective in peace talks, the Czech news agency CTK reported.
"Our participation in the Middle East process is given both by our friendly links and a quite pragmatic interest in our own future. These are communicating vessels," Fischer said.
The prime minister also said that the European Union needs to find a coordinated approach to the Mideast peace process.
"The EU is looking for the position and I dare to say that it has not fully found it," CTK quoted Fischer as saying. "I believe this will be one of the serious tasks of the future foreign policy of European integration."
