Madrid: Spain, Ireland and Slovenia plan to symbolically recognise a Palestinian state on May 21, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said on Friday.
He confirmed the date in an interview with Spanish public radio after Ireland's public broadcaster RTE said that was when all three countries were planning to act.
"As far as I know yes, because that's what minister (Jose Manuel) Albares told me," he said referring to Spain's foreign minister.
Slovenia's government said on Thursday it had passed a decree on recognising a Palestinian state which would be put to its parliament by mid-June.
"After that there will likely be more" nations following suit "because Belgium has also decided to do it," Borrell added.
