EU leaders are gathering in Brussels as of Thursday (26 June) for the last summit under the current mandate, to seal the deal on the distribution of the bloc's top jobs following the June European elections.

At the same time, they will be addressing a swath of key policy issues for the EU and agree on the EU's strategic agenda, a policy plan that sets the EU’s direction and goals for the next five years.  

To dive into the topics on this summit’s agenda, we are joined by our Global Editor Alexandra Brzozowski.
