Germany: European Heads Of State Arrive In Berlin On The Eve Of A European Union Summit
- Title: Germany: European Heads Of State Arrive In Berlin On The Eve Of A European Union Summit
- Date: 23rd March 1999
- Summary: European heads of state have arrived in Berlin on the eve of a European Union summit, which must not only set its house in order but also deal with a sharp escalation in the Kosovo crisis. The EU summit will open on March 24, and proceedings are bound to be dominated by the failure of the latest peace mission to Belgrade, as well as the leadership crisis in Europe following the entire commission's resignation last week. The summit is also due to discuss the controversial Agenda 2000 reform programme and thousands of German farmers are expected in Berlin to protest against EU agricultural policy. None of the European leaders who arrived in Berlin on March 23 evening commented on the breakdown of diplomatic efforts in Belgrade and the increasing likelihood of NATO military action against Yugoslavia.
