Borrell noted that the EU urges the Hong Kong authorities to reconsider the relevant decision.
Earlier, the press secretary of the US President Kaylee McEnani said that the White House condemned the postponement of elections in Hong Kong.
At the same time, it was also reported that the European Union will restrict the export of technology to Hong Kong due to the national security law.
