Slovenian Foreign Minister Tone Kajzer held an official meeting Thursday in Ljubljana with Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan. According to a statement from Dagan's office, Kajzer told him they share a 'common goal' and that he is 'happy to work on this platform'. Dagan replied: 'We are here to work together.'
The meeting follows the unprecedented joint statement earlier this week by Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Janša and Dagan. As The Zioneer reported on June 16, Janša became the first EU leader to use the term 'Judea and Samaria' rather than 'West Bank,' and issued a blessing for the region's residents. Janša also canceled a ban on imports from Judea and Samaria.
Dagan has been leading a broader diplomatic effort across Europe to counter EU sanctions on Judea and Samaria, as previously reported. The meeting with the Slovenian foreign minister, at the request of PM Janša, marks the latest step in that initiative. No additional details on specific agreements or outcomes were immediately available.
