Brussels,European Union,Government Appointments And Nominations

European Union leaders are poised to approve Ursula von der Leyen, António Costa and Kaja Kallas as the heads of the 27-nation bloc’s top institutions for the coming years. They will be tasked with shaping policy for the world’s biggest trading bloc.

European Union flags flap in the wind ahead of an EU summit in Brussels, Thursday, June 27, 2024. European Union leaders are expected to discuss the next EU top jobs, as well as the situation in the Middle East and Ukraine, security and defence and EU competitiveness.

While Michel’s appointment is decided by EU leaders, both von der Leyen and Kallas will also need to be approved by lawmakers. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who was part of the negotiating team that proposed the top jobs, said the common position of the three mainstream groups was reached only “to facilitate the process” and not to ostracize Meloni.
