/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The European Union plays an active role in resolution
of regional conflicts, Sweden’s Ambassador to South Caucasus Hans
Gunnar Aden said.

"The EU has a special representative in the South Caucasus whose
task is to help the countries settle conflicts," he told a briefing
in Yerevan.

The Swedish diplomat did not rule out that the EU will intensify its
role in such processes.

At that, he noted that the recently signed Lisbon Treaty stipulates
for merging the posts of High Representative for Common Foreign and
Security Policy and European Commissioner for External Relations
into the post of EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and
Security Policy.
