EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas is due to meet Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Tuesday ahead of a critical NATO summit in Ankara next week, according to two EU officials familiar with her plans. Kallas is visiting Turkey alongside Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos and Migration Commissioner Magnus Brunner as part of a high-level trio seeking to foster deeper ties with Ankara at a moment when wars in Ukraine and the Middle East are reshaping Europe’s security priorities. The talks are expected to focus on preparations for the July 7-8 NATO summit and regional security, according to the officials. “Türkiye is an essential partner on defence, migration, trade and regional stability,” a member of Kallas’ team told POLITICO. “Tuesday’s talks are likely to cover the way forward on Iran, Syria, Gaza, and Russia’s war against Ukraine — all issues where Türkiye’s voice carries heavily.” Beyond security, Brussels also wants to advance plans to lower trade barriers and develop the so-called “middle corridor” — a trade route linking Asia and Europe bypassing Russia. The outreach comes despite a relationship that remains politically fraught. Turkey’s EU accession bid has stalled for years, while Erdoğan continues to face criticism over democratic backsliding and the imprisonment of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu. European lawmakers have urged the Commission delegation to raise rule-of-law concerns during the visit. For now, however, security appears to be taking precedence. EU leaders hope next week’s NATO summit will help steady transatlantic relations after U.S. President Donald Trump sharply criticized European allies over their refusal to support recent U.S. military operations against Iran. “Closer EU-Turkey cooperation serves us all,” Kos told POLITICO ahead of the visit. “Together with Turkey, we want to move in the direction of more stability and more certainty in the wider region.”

Three people were injured in an apparent parcel bomb attack in central Monaco on Monday evening, triggering a major security operation in the principality. Although Monégasque authorities did not confirm the identities of those injured, French media reported Ukrainian-born Cypriot businessman Vadim Ermolaev to be among the victims. Once one of Ukraine’s wealthiest businessmen, he was sanctioned by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in 2023 over allegations that companies linked to him paid taxes in Russian-occupied Crimea. He has denied wrongdoing. Prince Albert II of Monaco condemned what he described as a “criminal explosion,” calling it “a shock for the entire Monégasque community,” and praised emergency services for their response. But Monégasque authorities declined to offer possible motives for the bombing. “I believe we must be cautious about the legal classification of the incident,” Minister of State Christophe Mirmand told POLITICO. He added that two victims were in critical condition and a third had suffered serious injuries. Mirmand said Monaco had “put in place all protective measures” to raise vigilance across the principality’s services. He added that officials had not determined the victims’ identities or nationalities, and said he was unaware of “any specific threats” against Ukrainians. The Monégasque government described the blast in a post on X as a “violent explosion linked to a booby-trapped package” that occurred near Place des Moulins shortly before 9 p.m. The area was immediately cordoned off as police opened a judicial investigation. According to Monaco Public Security, cited by BFM Nice, surveillance cameras captured a man leaving a backpack at the foot of the residential building before walking away moments before the explosion. Authorities later tracked a suspect fleeing toward the neighboring French town of Beausoleil, prompting a joint investigation with French authorities. Eighty-four police officers and 50 firefighters from Monaco and France were deployed, while forensic teams remained at the scene late into the evening. Monaco’s attorney general is expected to present the first findings of the investigation on Tuesday, including the legal classification of the attack.
