Josep Borrell, the European Union's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, has announced the release of his book Europe between Two Wars on his blog, stressing that the EU needs a paradigm shift in European defence policy.
He noted that the EU was built around the internal market and economy, but in his opinion the EU cannot continue along this path, Ednews reports citing to Ukrainian media.
"We must assume our strategic responsibility and become able to defend Europe by ourselves, building a strong European pillar inside NATO," Borrell said.
The top diplomat added that the EU needs to make this leap forward in a very short period of time.
