BRUSSELS, April 5. /TASS/. The European Union will discuss the 11th package of sanctions against Russia after this weekend’s Catholic Easter holidays, Politico’s European edition reported on Wednesday.

A new round of consultations between the European Commission and EU ambassadors is expected "just after the Easter holiday," three EU diplomats told the newspaper.

Earlier, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that the 11th package would be aimed at countering loopholes and any circumvention.

Reuters reported earlier this week, the EU was mulling the imposition of sanctions on Russia’s nuclear energy industry in Europe and Rosatom by offering Hungary specific carve-outs. Last year, Budapest was similarly allowed to buy Russian pipeline oil on which the other EU countries put their embargo effective from December 5, 2022.

The EU failed to slap sanctions on Russia’s state-owned nuclear energy corporation in its 10th package on February 25 over opposition from Hungary.
