The EU could deny new member states the right to veto foreign policy and other decisions requiring unanimity.
The no-veto clause could be written into Montenegro's accession treaty, which would serve as a template for others.

First #EU-#CentralAsia summit starts today.
EU leaders should not turn a blind eye to Central Asian states’ repressive practices.
Rights protections and the rule of law are essential to secure the EU’s own interests.

My respect for President Zelensky was already huge. I’m now in awe at how he’s taking on Putin and Trump at the same time. This man’s principle and above all his courage is something that all other european leaders, north, south, east and west should reflect on and learn from

The shocking story of the tiny children taken from their mothers in Belgium's colonies because they were mixed race.
Now five women have taken the Belgian government to court, alleging crimes against humanity.

The Kaja Kallas hearing was a missed opportunity, as these sessions are. So many repetitive questions from MEPs, almost no follow ups, so the person at the front repeats their talking points. Not a criticism of KK, but the hearings don't work as they should do.

after 3 hours of grilling the new EU foreign policy chief Kallas in the EP there have been several questions on Africa, Latin America, even Arctic - fine. and the final question was finally about Balkans - perhaps THE place where 🇪🇺 has the biggest influence. priorities...

Kaja Kallas references historian Timothy Snyder in her hearing with MEPs. "In order for a country to become better it has to lose its last colonial war." The EU has to do everything to ensure "Russia loses its last colonial war".

Dear EU delegations!
Do you know that the Dorothea Hotel in Budapest, where you might be staying, is owned by the son-in-law of PM Orbán? @direkt36 has found out that @HU24EU has highly recommended Dorothea Hotel to delegations coming to the #EPC and informal #EUCO summits 🫴

A grim moment for #Kyiv. A second Trump presidency means the probable end of US military assistance to Ukraine. The country's troops are already outgunned on the battlefield, with Russia advancing at the fastest rate since 2022. East - most of Donetsk oblast - may be lost in 2025

Deflated mood tonight at the anti-government protest in Tbilisi. Many said they had hoped for more support from the EU, instead they received a visit from Orban. The momentum is not with the opposition. My report

Remember Hungary's Sovereignity Protection Office? They've just published their "findings" on investigative portal @Atlatszo, conluding their activities "pose a sovereignty protection problem for Hungary, and the extent of the damage caused by their activities is considerable" 🧵
