Many of Liberia’s bilateral partners are now growing gravely concerned about the political standoff in the country following the October 10 presidential and representative elections. The statement was issued jointly by the European Union Delegation to Liberia and the Embassies of EU Member States present in Liberia (France, Germany, Sweden and the United Kingdom.) The EU said it is looking forward to continuing the cooperation with anyone that would be eventually elected. The EU has been and continues to follow the 2017 presidential and House of Representative elections with interest. “We would like to stress the importance of a smooth democratic transition for Liberia’s stability and economic growth,” it said.
