Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen responded to journalists' questions on who should represent Europe in negotiations with Russia regarding the end of the war. The head of government emphasised that she does not wish to act unilaterally on behalf of the continent.

Decision to be made jointly

Commenting on the situation, Frederiksen noted that the issue requires discussion. She explained that the debate would take place later that evening, as well as during a subsequent meeting in Dublin.

“We will discuss this tonight, and also later in Dublin. For me, it is very important right now to support our European institutions,” the prime minister said.

Priority of institutional work

In response to a direct question on whether she would like to represent Europe independently, Frederiksen answered in the negative. She emphasised that her goal is to be part of a general European voice, where institutions play a key role.

“No. I hope to be part of Europe's voice. But our institutions must be at the centre of our work,” the prime minister stressed.
