BRUSSELS - European Union leaders meet on Sunday to decide who wins the bloc’s top posts, with Dutch socialist Frans Timmermans in pole position to be named the EU’s next chief executive, diplomats and officials said.
“ Someone who is able to listen. Frans is one of those who has to be taken seriously into account when it comes to the appointment of the president of the Commission.”“We will make our proposal for the Commission presidency and we will also discuss other top jobs. It looks like the talks will not be very easy.
“Yeah, I’m not going to talk about names, I also hear all kinds of rumors. We’re going to try to get a decision tonight.” “It’s still really unclear who will become the President of the Commission. The fact is in Osaka there were a number of European countries, who of course also talked about the situation, but there are no concrete compromises on the table.”“The V4 said at the beginning that we are against the Spitzencandidaten.”
