00:01Well, all the member states actually agreed that I'm the one who is representing Europe in the foreign and security
00:08policy.
00:09So, I mean, that was in 2024 when it was clear that, you know, this is going to be the
00:16case.
00:16I know that the Russians don't want me, but, you know, do we have a say who is representing Russia?
00:24No, we don't. And really, I mean, we have to have a strong team.
00:28And I'm ready to do this work with the foreign ministers.
00:32We meet every month. We have these formats already in place.
00:36And frankly, I think that leaders have so much on their plate.
00:40We should really use the foreign ministers and this format more to actually, you know, the way you negotiate.
00:48First, you know, you put together the maximum demands.
00:51Then you come together. Where is our fallback position? Where we can compromise?
00:56And of course, I'm bound with what the member states say.
01:00I mean, I'm not representing myself. I'm representing 27 like I have done already two years.
01:06Do you?
