The Mediterranean is a partner and the EU must be present "not just with soft power, but with action" the Commissioner for the Mediterranean Dubravka Šuica said on Thursday, as the Pact for the Mediterranean was unveiled by the European Commission. In an interview with CNA and other media outlets from Mediterranean EU member states, Šuica described the Pact as more than just a policy document, saying it is a “living pact,” designed to adapt to the rapidly shifting political, economic, and social landscapes of the Southern Mediterranean, the Middle East, and North Africa.
