European political community: first meeting scheduled

French President Emmanuel Macron had presented his idea of a European Political Community in May, and now the concept is taking shape: A first meeting will take place on the sidelines of the informal European Council in Prague on October 7, Council President Charles Michel announced during his visit to Berlin on Friday. He said this would be an opportunity for EU heads of state and government to „exchange views intensively with countries that are based on the European continent and share a common position on some issues“.
