After meeting the majority leader of the Lebanese parliament, Saad Hariri, Solana said a number of EU countries are expected to contribute to the force.
Solana said it was too early to speak of details relating to the mandate of the force or where it would be deployed. Hariri said the force must be part of a "global" package of measures guaranteeing that Lebanon will not become a "playground" for other countries.
