Russia, EU Need to Cooperate on Counterterrorism – Austrian Lawmaker
MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Speaking at a briefing earlier, EU foreign affairs spokeswoman Catherine Ray said the top diplomats would address the Nice attack with US State Secretary John Kerry at informal breakfast and lunch gatherings.

“Foreign Affairs Council: upon request of France, EU ministers to add fight against terrorism on their agenda on Monday,” the EU Council press service said in a Twitter post.

At least 84 people, including children, died during Bastille Day celebrations late Thursday when a heavy truck rammed into a crowd of people on the Promenade des Anglais in the resort city.
