An EU summit scheduled for Thursday and Friday in Brussels will no longer be held in person due to the accelerating third wave of the coronavirus in Europe, a spokesman said.For more coronavirus news, visit our dedicated page.European Council chief Charles Michel, who organizes the regular leaders’ meetings, made the decision “following the surge of COVID19 cases in member states,” his spokesman Barend Leyts tweeted on Sunday.The meeting is scheduled to address several sensitive topics, including deteriorating ties with Russia as well as Turkey, and disorganization in the EU response to the pandemic.EU diplomats said that leaders last week urged Michel to cancel the in-person meeting, though he had hoped to tighten sanitary measures to avoid reverting again to a videoconference.The leaders have only met physically a handful of times since the pandemic began, most notably a four-day marathon in July to agree the EU’s 750 billion euro recovery plan.Diplomats complain that topics requiring delicate diplomacy cannot be properly addressed in a video meeting.The leaders next scheduled in-person meeting is in Porto, Portugal on May 8.Read more:Police clash with people protesting against COVID-19 curbs in German cityBulgaria COVID-19 hospitalizations jump to record highFrance reports COVID-19 patients in intensive care at new 2021 high
