Poland promises to veto the migrant relocations, Hungary questions Brussels’s extra-budgetary requests, and others keep worrying about the possibility of a resurgent Wagner coming out of Belarus. All in one day.
Security concerns and solidarity dilemmas dominated the first day of the EU Council Summit on Thursday, June 29th, as leaders of the bloc gathered in Brussels to discuss the most pressing issues in Europe, including the Migration pact, unexpected budget hikes, and what to make out of the situation in Russia in wake of Wagner’s short-lived mutiny.
The two-day Summit will conclude on Friday with concrete decisions in all relevant policy areas, until then here’s where member states stand on each of the main issues.
