The European Union exercises maximum diplomacy with everybody during crises. This is the natural role of the EU in support of peace, security and democracy, said the High Representative Federica Mogherini following the Foreign Affairs Council on Monday.

The use of social media in politics becomes a major player in building consensus. The new technologies have deeply affected the working methods of diplomats and their communication style, says H.E. Stefano Baldi, Ambassador of Italy in Bulgaria, in an interview to Europost.

History, diplomacy and arts fuse and complement each other in a panel of events that are staged in Sofia to commemorate the 140th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Italy and Bulgaria.
