Difficult Times Ahead, Says Charles Michel

The President of the European Council, Charles Michel, has expressed that difficult times are ahead for the EU. He made this statement to reporters in Vilnius, where the leaders of Bulgaria, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the Czech Republic have also arrived to discuss the EU's political priorities.

“We are facing significant difficulties and challenges. It is necessary to do everything possible to strengthen the EU and ensure security,” said the President of the European Council.

He also stated that the EU must continue to support Ukraine. “We must mobilize all financial and military resources,” Michel emphasized.

According to him, one of the EU's priorities is to strengthen the economy. “The single market is very important to us; it needs to be reinforced, and more investments should be made,” he added, highlighting that maintaining unity among EU countries is equally important.
