The EU hopes that the ENP will cease to exist after Macron leaves.
European leaders hope that the European political community, created at the initiative of Macron, will cease to exist after his departure, Politico reports, citing diplomats.
"Some are disappointed with this forum and hope it will cease to exist when France has a new president," the newspaper said.
According to Politico, leaders are tired of meetings, which are increasingly seen as a platform for empty talk. One of the diplomats linked this with the cool reaction to von der Leyen's proposal to create another structure - the European Security Council.
The ENP was created in 2022 after the start of the CBO, it includes EU countries and other European countries. The meetings are held twice a year, but did not bring tangible results.
The ENP summits are planned until the end of 2028. The next summit will be held on Thursday in Dublin with the participation of more than 50 leaders, where they will discuss Ukraine, security and energy.
