Vondra plans first meeting of Obama and EU leaders in Prague

In related news, Deputy Prime Minister for European Affairs, Alexandr Vondra, has said he wants to stage Barack Obama’s first meeting with EU leaders in Prague in the spring. As of January 1, the Czechs take over at the head of the European Union, and so the first EU-American summit will fall during the Czechs’ presidency. On Wednesday, Mr Vondra did not specify when exactly he hoped to hold the meeting, but did suggest that it should coincide with the NATO summit to take place in Kehl and Strasbourg early next year.
