European Union leaders are convening in Brussels to determine top positions within the EU following the rise of nationalist and far-right parties in recent elections. Ursula von der Leyen is poised for a second term as European Commission president, with António Costa and Kaja Kallas being potential candidates for other key roles.
Discussions revolve around achieving political, geographical, and gender balance in appointing leaders. Despite expectations for a swift agreement, debates persist over nominees and portfolio distributions, particularly concerning António Costa's potential appointment as European Council president.
Opposition to von der Leyen's re-election and strategic positioning within the EU institutions further complicate the decision-making process.
