/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On November 19, leaders of European Union member
states are electing EU first President. Representatives from 27
countries differed in their views on possible candidate, hence
discussions over the issue are expected to continue after midnight.
Earlier, the favorite was Britain's Tony Blair. But later, France and
Germany expressed support for Belgian Premier Herman Van Rompuy. Other
possible contenders included in the list are Dutch Premier Jan Peter
Balkenende, former Latvian President Vaira Vike-Freiberga and Luxemburg
Premier Jean-Claude Juncker.
Brussels will also host elections of pan-European Foreign Minster
who will be vested with more competences than President.
EU structural management reforms are stipulated in Lisbon Treaty
which enters into force on December 1, 2009, BBC reports.
