A split in the EU camp:
The EU has split into three camps on the issue of its representative for negotiations with Russia. Class has the fewest supporters.
This was reported by Politico. Details:
The first camp - the supporters of the President of the European Council Antonio Costa. They believe that this position makes him the natural candidate for the position of representative of the European Union.
The second - for representatives from France and Germany. Both countries do not want to give up places in the negotiations to Brussels. They are unlikely to welcome an agreement that gives it a monopoly on representing Europe, sources said.
The third camp - Kaja Kala supporters. But her tough stance on Russia could result in rejection by the Kremlin and make her candidacy a problem, some European diplomats believe.
