EU leaders are in Brussels to consider candidates for the organisation’s most important jobs in the wake of parliamentary elections.

According to the BBC – the presidency of the EU Commission, currently held by Jean-Claude Juncker, is among those up for grabs.

The elections saw the big centrist blocs lose their majority with nationalists and Greens gaining ground.

It leaves the EU more fragmented, so finding consensus may be harder than in the past.

The talks over dinner today – may not even result in a shortlist of candidates and the haggling is likely to take months.

UK Prime Minister Theresa May will participate, but Brussels sources say there will be little or no discussion of Brexit.
