“Ministers today will celebrate Denmark's accession to European defense policy.
Denmark has officially notified us of this,” TASS quoted him as saying during a visit to a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Luxembourg.
In March, European Union leaders endorsed the community's first defense strategy, the EU Strategic Compass, at a summit in Brussels.
The Council of the EU reported that the agreed concept of the defense of the European Union implies the creation of a rapid reaction force of 5 thousand people.
At the same time, according to Borrell, the EU defense strategy does not provide for the creation of a common European army.
