EU leaders have nominated present European Fee head Ursula von der Leyen for a second five-year time period within the bloc’s prime job at a summit in Brussels.
Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas was picked because the EU’s subsequent overseas affairs chief and former Portuguese prime minister António Costa was chosen as the following chairman of EU summits.
All three candidates are from centrist, pro-EU factions.
The European Parliament is because of vote on the nominations subsequent month.
Ursula von der Leyen is from Germany’s centre-right, António Costa is a socialist and Kaja Kallas a liberal.
There had been resistance from Italy’s Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni.
Earlier than the summit she mentioned the plans ignored the successes of hard-right events like her personal within the latest elections for the European Parliament.
Approval from the European Parliament may very well be a trickier problem.
