My Way News - Dogfight ahead as EU leaders pick new top jobs: "The European Union is about to pick its very first president, a post conjured up after years of tortuous political machination to give the bloc a unified voice on the world stage. [...] There are still no official candidates, and yet more than half a dozen politicians are said to be in the running."

My Way News - The powers of new EU president, foreign minister: "At their summit in Brussels on Thursday, EU leaders aim to agree on who will fill two new top posts created in the 27-nation bloc's new reform treaty which enters into force Dec. 1. Here are the job descriptions."

Comment: This should be interesting. As a said before, I'm not putting too much emphasis on this in terms of the people who are elected, or rather "selected" to serve (the E.U. has yet to address their democracy deficit), but more on the event itself as a milestone and one that could become important in the future.
