EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell. File photoBRUSSELS, May 24. The EU must learn the «language of power», including the ability to respond to external threats, and seek partners not only among like-minded people, says EU diplomat Josep Borrell.»Europe must learn to use language strength… It is the ability to respond to threats, to respond by pursuing our interests. This is not just the “soft power” of the legal system, but the use of heavy power, not necessarily military, but heavy,” he said, speaking at an event organized by the European Policy Research Center (CEPS). Borrell also urged European countries to «take the initiative and build coalitions», look for partners «not only among like-minded countries». France warned of a «terrible funnel» for Europeans because of Ukraine
