A planned Brussels launch for a group of political and military figures working on the future of European defense has been canceled, delivering another setback to EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas.
The event was scheduled to take place at the prestigious Bibliothèque Solvay. Under Kallas’s plan, the group of “wise men” would have brought together political and military leaders from the European Union, Ukraine and the United Kingdom.
The cancellation comes as Kallas faces increasingly strong pressure from European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and the member states. France and Germany, as well as von der Leyen, want Kallas and the European External Action Service to come under tighter central control.
