Brussels, MINA – The EU has called on the US to avoid any action that would undermine the Middle East Peace Process and would have serious global repercussions, KUNA reported.

“Since early this year, the European Union was clear in its expectation that there can be reflection on the consequences that any decision or unilateral action affecting Jerusalem’s status could have, ” Federica Mogherini, EU High Representative said in a phone conversation with the Jordanian Foreign Minister Safadi last night on a possible US announcement on the status of Jerusalem this week.

“It might have serious repercussions on public opinion in large parts of the world,” she warned.
