Zimbabwe has described as "disgraceful" the European Union's decision to impose personal sanctions on President Robert Mugabe and his ruling elite.

The sanctions, which include a travel ban on Mr Mugabe and 19 of his close associates and the freezing of their European assets, were imposed on Monday after Harare expelled the head of the EU observers' mission.
