Brussels – Prime Minister Robert Golob is confident that the new EU leadership, which is expected to consist of Ursula von der Leyen, Antonio Costa, and Kaja Kallas, will lead the union with great sobriety, wisdom, and optimism during turbulent times.

The leaders of the EU member states, including the Slovenian Prime Minister, on Thursday proposed the German center-right politician von der Leyen to the European Parliament for a new five-year term at the head of the European Commission, the liberal Estonian Prime Minister Kallas was chosen as the new head of European diplomacy, and the former Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa as the new president of the European Council. Golob described the trio as experienced politicians.

The Prime Minister also welcomed the decisions taken regarding the war in the Middle East. “We have finally adopted sufficiently clear positions regarding the fact that the situation is not only unsustainable, but that it is actually necessary to empower the Palestinian authorities and seek a path to a two-state solution. Among them was also mentioned the recognition of Palestine as a step on this path,” said Golob in his cabinet.

However, this was the first regular session of the European Council since Slovenia, Spain, and Ireland, together with the non-EU member state Norway, recognized Palestine about a month ago. (June 28)
