    According to reports, Lebanese President Michel Sleiman has said that the country’s policy of dissociation from conflicts in neighbouring countries has helped Lebanon avoid repercussions. Sleiman made the remarks following meetings with EU officials on the Syrian crisis. He said that violence would not help resolve the conflict in Syria, and stressed the need for an end to Syrian shelling of Lebanese border areas. Sleiman has pointed out that the dissociation policy does not apply to Lebanon’s positions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, or the humanitarian situation of Syrian refugees in Lebanon. 1
