BLED, Slovenia (Reuters) - The European Union is far from deciding whether to formally recognise the Taliban government in Afghanistan after it took over the country last month but EU aid money will determine what conditions might apply, Slovenia's foreign minister said.
Anze Logar, whose country holds the six-month presidency of the EU, said the Taliban's designation as a terrorist organisation by some EU states meant that recognition was not just a diplomatic issue, but also a legal one.
