“We’re not there yet,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said.
“I don’t think we’ll reach an agreement today.
We’ll try to reach an agreement by the summit in June, this is the realistic approach by now,” said Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas.
The next summit is scheduled for June 23-24.
