EU Leaders Name Heads of Bloc's Institutions

VOA News

   European Union (EU) leaders have chosen the new heads of the 28-nation
   bloc's institutions for at least the next five years, breaking a
   three-day deadlock triggered by deep EU divisions.

   European Council President Donald Tusk said Tuesday German Defense
   Minister Ursula von der Leyen was named president of the European
   Commission and Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel as the council
   president.
