Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, speaking after the European Council summit in Brussels, described ongoing budget negotiations as a “tough bargaining process.” He emphasized Greece’s firm commitment to maintaining funding levels for cohesion funds and the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). These funds are considered a non-negotiable priority for the country. The Prime Minister’s comments followed discussions at the summit concerning Ukraine, migration, and energy prices, all of which are influencing the broader EU budget debate. Details of the specific negotiations surrounding these issues were not immediately disclosed, but Mitsotakis indicated significant challenges remain in reaching an agreement. The outcome of these talks will have a substantial impact on Greece’s economic outlook and its ability to address key domestic priorities. The Prime Minister underscored the importance of securing adequate resources to support Greece’s development goals.
