HARARE , Zimbabwe ( CNN ) -- A European Union delegation met Saturday with Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe , who said the parties had established a `` good rapport . '' President Mugabe and his wife , Grace , arrive for a ZANU PF party youth conference on Friday . `` There was no animosity , it was quite friendly , '' Mugabe said . Gunilla Carlsson , the Swedish minister for International Development Cooperation , said the parties `` definitely made some progress . '' `` Of course we did n't agree with everything Mr. Mugabe said , but it was a correct meeting and we exchanged views , '' Carlsson , who is heading the mission , told CNN 's Rosemary Church . The delegation met with Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai later on Saturday . Carlsson spokesman Peter Larsson had said earlier that `` there was no sense of any hostility from Mugabe . '' Larsson was referring to remarks the Zimbabwean president made Friday , when he condemned `` bloody whites '' for meddling in his country 's affairs . Carlsson is heading the mission to Zimbabwe . `` Sanctions or no sanctions , Zimbabwe remains ours , '' .Mugabe told his ZANU-PF party 's youth conference in Harare on Friday . `` Who said the British and the Americans should rule over others ? That 's why we say , down with you . We have not invited these bloody whites . They want to poke their nose into our own affairs . Refuse that , '' he said . The European Union imposed travel bans on Mugabe and his representatives in 2002 . The bans were imposed after accusations of human rights violations and election fraud . In addition to travel restrictions , the European Union has frozen the assets of more than 200 Zimbabweans for allegedly violating human rights , according to Sweden , which holds the rotating presidency of the EU this year . On Saturday , Mugabe again addressed `` sanctions , '' saying he was dismayed that they were not lifted after meeting with the EU delegation . `` I have always been disappointed with sanctions on Zimbabwe , '' he said , adding that the EU delegation `` thought things were not working , yet we did all the things we were asked to do '' under a power-sharing agreement signed in September last year . Larsson said there was no discussion about the restrictions at the meeting . Under the agreement , which was to end months of turmoil and violence that followed the country 's March 2008 presidential elections , Mugabe retained his office , and opposition leader Tsvangirai became prime minister . The agreement -- the Global Political Agreement -- spelled out a number of fundamental democratic reforms , but so far there has been no progress toward them , Carlsson said in a statement ahead of the meetings with Mugabe and Tsvangirai . `` There have not yet been clear positive developments in all areas . I am still concerned at the lack of democratic development , '' she said then . After meeting with Tsvangirai , Carlsson told CNN that `` Tsvangirai 's government is working hard towards the implementation of the political agreement . '' She added , `` After such a long time of oppression , it is of course hard to move forward and change will take some time . But the EU is committed to follow up on this progress and encourage change . '' CNN 's Per Nyberg in London , England , contributed to this report .
