ROUGH CUT. NO REPORTER NARRATION. EU foreign ministers met in Luxembourg on Monday (April 3) to discuss the future of Syria, two days ahead of a conference in Brussels dedicated to the future of the country that will be co-chaired by the Union, Germany, Kuwait, Norway, Qatar and the United Nations. Propped up by Russia's increasing military involvement, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad appears to have the upper hand in the war, which has also allowed radical Islamists to flourish. The European Union has been pushing for a political transition in Syria with EU Foreign Policy Chief Federica Mogherini saying upon arrival it should start with a political agreement on governance and power-sharing between Damascus and the opposition. The 28-nation bloc, which Mogherini said has spent 9.4 billion euros on various Syria-related projects over the last six years, has threatened not to pay for reconstruction work should Moscow and Damascus crush the Western-backed opposition entirely.
