EU governments are making domestic considerations a priority

The postponement of the negotiations of the Heads of State and Government on the Multiannual Financial Framework is disappointing.

Hopefully that will result in finally opening accession talks with both North Macedonia and Albania during the Croatian presidency. The new methodology for enlargement negotiations that the Commission proposes will only be acceptable if it would b…

Withdrawal Agreement vote sad day for Europe

The ties that bind us run deeper than our political union and although the UK will for now embark on a separate path we will stay partners and friends. If the UK changes its mind in the future then we will leave a light on for them to return home.
