reason her government worked vociferously to remove the head of Russia\u2019s Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, from the European Commission\u2019s proposed 21st package of sanctions against Russia was to avoid fuelling EU scepticism.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"c-ad u-show-for-mobile-only\">\n<div class=\"c-ad__placeholder\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-ad__placeholder__logo\"

that, in a country \u2013 an Eastern Orthodox country, such as Bulgaria \u2013 is creating the environment for brewing anti-European rhetoric,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat&#8217;s why we&#8217;re not supporting it, and that&#8217;s why we we&#8217;re really happy that in the end the name was dropped out,\u201d she said in comments on Euronews\u2019 flagship morning programme, Europe Today.<\/p>\n<p>The Bulgarian Orthodox Church and the Russian Orthodox Church are autonomous churches with different patriarchs. But they both belong to the Eastern Orthodox communion, share the same core beliefs and teachings, and have deep-rooted cultural and historical links.<\/p>\n<p>The EU executive proposed the 21st package of sanctions against Russia for its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 9 June. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We focus on the sectors with the highest impact: energy, financial services and crypto, trade \u2013 including fisheries, for the first time \u2013 and we are banning the entry of former Russian combatants into the European Union,&#8221; European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said at the time.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal also included sanctioning Patriarch Kirill, who has labelled the full-scale invasion as a &#8220;holy war&#8221; and been accused of condoning the fighting. Former Bulgarian Foreign Minister Daniel Mitov claimed Kirill has used his position as a religious authority to justify Russian aggression and the killing of civilians. <\/p>\n<p>At the behest of Bulgaria, his name was successfully removed from the draft proposal on Sunday at a meeting attended by European ambassadors. <\/p>\n<h3>Oil price cap controversy<\/h3>\n<p>After the sanctions package failed to be approved at a meeting attended by foreign affairs ministers in the Belgian capital on Monday, it will be renegotiated at an emergency meeting late Tuesday afternoon in hopes of finalisation. <\/p>\n<p>If it is not rubber-stamped, the EU\u2019s oil price cap mechanism \u2013 jumping from \u20ac44 to possibly \u20ac58 per barrel \u2013 could benefit the Kremlin as the war in Iran pushes the price of crude up.<\/p>\n<p>The date on which the oil price mechanism will revise up or down if left unchanged, 15 July, is also the date Petrova-Chamova is travelling to the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv to discuss energy security with senior members of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy\u2019s government.<\/p>\n<p>The foreign minister said she is \u201cnot afraid\u201d about showing up empty-handed, or worse, with a mechanism that is benefiting the Russian government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m more thinking about how we can work more together to help Ukraine face the challenges in front of it, which are going to be even higher as the winter approaches,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<h3>Trade with illegal Israeli settlements<\/h3>\n<p>The foreign affairs council meeting on Monday also focused on a two-page options paper presented by the European Commission regarding how to clamp down on trade between the EU and illegal Israeli settlements <strong>first reported<\/strong> by Euronews.<\/p>\n<p>A 2024 International Court of Justice advisory opinion found these settlements to be unlawful, a position also taken by the European Union. The court and various international governments have called on Israel to reverse settlements while protecting the Palestinian population in the occupied territories.<\/p>\n<p>The EU\u2019s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said these settlements undermine the prospects for peace and the two-state solution, and that EU foreign ministers at Monday\u2019s closed-door discussions overwhelmingly backed curbing trade.<\/p>\n<p>Petrova-Chamova said she could not confidently say whether she endorsed any of the proposals as they lacked clarity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey&#8217;re not proposals really, they&#8217;re options, and that&#8217;s slightly different because there&#8217;s not very clear agreement between the legal service of the Commission and the Council about the ability to adopt those with unanimity,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>EU ambassadors will now be tasked with putting meat on the bones of the Commission\u2019s initial plans. <\/p>\n<p>Kallas also said that an extraordinary meeting of foreign ministers could be convened to ensure further progress. The next formal ministerial gathering is scheduled for October, weeks before Israel is due to hold legislative elections, with several diplomats expressing fear that the sensitive timing could further scupper any progress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>                                  Go to accessibility shortcuts<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-article-share-comment u-align-items-center u-display-flex\"><span

exclusive comments to Euronews that the reason her government worked vociferously to remove the head of Russia\u2019s Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, from the European Commission\u2019s proposed 21st package of sanctions against Russia was to avoid fuelling EU scepticism.\u201cWhen you have sanctions that have purely symbolic measure but no economic consequence on Russia, what you are risking is that, in a country \u2013 an Eastern Orthodox country, such as Bulgaria \u2013 is creating the environment for brewing anti-European rhetoric,\u201d she said.\u201cThat&#8217;s why we&#8217;re not supporting it, and that&#8217;s why we we&#8217;re really happy that in the end the name was dropped out,\u201d she said in comments on Euronews\u2019 flagship morning programme, Europe Today.The Bulgarian Orthodox Church and the Russian Orthodox Church are autonomous churches with different patriarchs. But they both belong to the Eastern Orthodox communion, share the same core beliefs and teachings, and have deep-rooted cultural and historical links.The EU executive proposed the 21st package of sanctions against Russia for its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 9 June.&#8221;We focus on the sectors with the highest impact: energy, financial services and crypto, trade \u2013 including fisheries, for the first time \u2013 and we are banning the entry of former Russian combatants into the European Union,&#8221; European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said at the time.The proposal also included sanctioning Patriarch Kirill, who has labelled the full-scale invasion as a &#8220;holy war&#8221; and been accused of condoning the fighting. Former Bulgarian Foreign Minister Daniel Mitov claimed Kirill has used his position as a religious authority to justify Russian aggression and the killing of civilians.At the behest of Bulgaria, his name was successfully removed from the draft proposal on Sunday at a meeting attended by European ambassadors.Oil price cap controversyAfter the sanctions package failed to be approved at a meeting attended by foreign affairs ministers in the Belgian capital on Monday, it will be renegotiated at an emergency meeting late Tuesday afternoon in hopes of finalisation. \u00a0If it is not rubber-stamped, the EU\u2019s oil price cap mechanism \u2013 jumping from \u20ac44 to possibly \u20ac58 per barrel \u2013 could benefit the Kremlin as the war in Iran pushes the price of crude up.The date on which the oil price mechanism will revise up or down if left unchanged, 15 July, is also the date Petrova-Chamova is travelling to the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv to discuss energy security with senior members of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy\u2019s government.The foreign minister said she is \u201cnot afraid\u201d about showing up empty-handed, or worse, with a mechanism that is benefiting the Russian government.\u201cI&#8217;m more thinking about how we can work more together to help Ukraine face the challenges in front of it, which are going to be even higher as the winter approaches,\u201d she said.Trade with illegal Israeli settlementsThe foreign affairs council meeting on Monday also focused on a two-page options paper presented by the European Commission regarding how to clamp down on trade between the EU and illegal Israeli settlements first reported\u00a0by Euronews.A 2024 International Court of Justice advisory opinion found these settlements to be unlawful, a position also taken by the European Union. The court and various international governments have called on Israel to reverse settlements while protecting the Palestinian population in the occupied territories.The EU\u2019s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said these settlements undermine the prospects for peace and the two-state solution, and that EU foreign ministers at Monday\u2019s closed-door discussions overwhelmingly backed curbing trade.Petrova-Chamova said she could not confidently say whether she endorsed any of the proposals as they lacked clarity.\u201cThey&#8217;re not proposals really, they&#8217;re options, and that&#8217;s slightly different because there&#8217;s not very clear agreement between the legal service of the Commission and the Council about the ability to adopt those with unanimity,\u201d she said.EU ambassadors will now be tasked with putting meat on the bones of the Commission\u2019s initial plans.\u00a0Kallas also said that an extraordinary meeting of foreign ministers could be convened to ensure further progress. The next formal ministerial gathering is scheduled for October, weeks before Israel is due to hold legislative elections, with several diplomats expressing fear that the sensitive timing could further scupper any progress.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;http:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2026\/07\/14\/targeting-patriarch-kirill-risks-fuelling-eu-scepticism-bulgarian-foreign-minister-warns&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/83\/63\/79\/1200x675_cmsv2_93bff3df-1b5b-5a42-92b0-f7625750a82e-9836379.jpg&#8221;] Europe News Almost 60 gored or bruised during Spain&#8217;s San Ferm\u00edn bull runs Sport Yamal answers Rajoy&#8217;s controversial column on France Cinema &#8216;Digger&#8217;: Will this film land Tom Cruise his first Oscar win?
