PM Fiala to meet European Council President Costa in Brno on Friday

Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala (SPOLU) will host European Council President Antonio Costa in Brno on Friday to discuss preparations for upcoming EU summits and key priorities of European policy, the Government Office has announced.

The meeting is part of Costa’s ongoing tour of EU member states, aimed at engaging leaders on pressing European issues and aligning on future strategies.

Costa’s “Tour de Capitales,” which began this week, has already included Slovenia, Croatia, Austria, Romania, and Bulgaria. Discussions during the tour focus on EU defence and competitiveness, the situation in Ukraine, and developments in the Middle East.

Insights gathered from these meetings will help shape the agenda for an informal EU summit in Copenhagen in early October, followed by the regular European Council meeting in Brussels at the end of the month.
