The Presidency of the EU expresses its concern about the worrisome situation in Bolivia following the 4 May referendum and calls on all parties to exert their outmost restrain and to refrain from any action that could thwart the finding of a peaceful and lasting solution to the current situation.
The Presidency is convinced that the only way to overcome the present crisis is for all parties involved to engage in meaningful and constructive dialogue, with full respect for the rule of law, territorial integrity and unity, and the legal and institutional framework of the country.
The Presidency welcomes the efforts deployed in the same line by the Organization of American States and by the Group of Friends of Bolivia.
