Romania’s president, Klaus Iohannis, will be in Brussels on Wednesday and Thursday for a ceremony paying tribute to Jaques Delors (1925-2023), former European Commission president over 1985-1995, and for a special meeting of the European Council. The main topic on Thursday’s Council meeting is securing consensus at community level over the main elements in the package set to reform the 2021-2027 Multiannual Financial Framework. The most anticipated decisions regard support for Ukraine at all levels, including military assistance via the European Peace Facility, in line with Ukraine’s specific needs. President Iohannis will firmly argue in favor of Ukraine remaining a top priority on the EU agenda.
