Belgium open to softening stance on frozen Russian assets if EU shares risk, FT reports

Sept 10 (Reuters) - Belgium could be open to the European Union changing the way it handles Russian assets immobilised on its soil in order to help Ukraine, if the legal risks involved were transferred to all EU member states, the country's Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot said in an interview with the Financial Times.

"If new initiatives were to be taken, it would be necessary to ensure their legal robustness, but also that there would be a pooling of risks," Prevot told the newspaper.
