European Union foreign ministers have agreed to impose "targeted" sanctions on President Robert Mugabe's government in Zimbabwe. The EU is also to withdraw its election observers from the country, an EU official confirmed to CNN on Monday. The decision by the 15 ministers came after the EU's observer, Pierre Schori, gave them a report on the situation in Zimbabwe.
