supported these initiatives and in
particular the ongoing mediation of

constructive role played by regional
organizations and countries in the
region in finding a peaceful
solution, including Angola and the

situation in the DRC.
"The European Union will monitor
with greater attention the crucial
political developments in the DRC

context, additional restrictive
measures could be envisaged in
the event of obstruction of the
political process or new violence.
