Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu speaks at a joint news conference with his Slovenian counterpart Anze Logar on Tuesday.

Slovenia’s Foreign Minister Anze Logar on Tuesday pledged to play a constructive role for Turkey’s membership in the European Union.

Logar said that Slovenia will encourage dialogue between the EU and Turkey during its mandate as president of the Council of the European Union.

Meanwhile, Çavuşoğlu underlined that the visit by top EU officials to Ankara last month has enabled fruitful discussions between the two sides.

"There is a much better atmosphere in our relationships right now. Now is the time to take concrete steps. In particular, we think that it is important to take steps to cooperate on important issues such as high-level dialogues, such as the modernization of the Customs Union, visa liberalization, fight against terrorism, and immigration, as stated by my counterpart," said Cavusoglu.
