EU parliamentary chairs to meet in Bratislava in April

Xinhua, February 22, 2017 Adjust font size:

The European heads of parliaments will meet again in Bratislava between April 22-23 in order to exchange information on cooperating with each other, said Slovak Parliamentary Chairman Andrej Danko on Tuesday.

According to Danko, the European Union (EU) is at a crossroads at the moment, waiting for the results of various parliamentary and presidential elections across Europe.

"The EU and Europe itself are historically destined to become an example of coexistence and tolerance for other nations. However, that doesn't mean that we'll deny our basic historical principle," said Danko, who has been calling for a stronger voice of national parliaments in the EU over the long term.

The first informal summit of EU parliamentary chairs took place in Bratislava in early October 2016 as part of Slovakia's Presidency of the EU Council. Endit
