The Week Ahead

Just back from a weekend of discussions on European and internaional security affairs in Switzerland I'm facing a week of work in a wintry Stockholm.

On the wider stage, I would expect that the Moscow visit of Angela Merkel will attract much attention. And later during the week the French Prime Minister comes to Berlin for talks, as well as for presenting his vision of Europe. In Strasbourg, the European Parliament will be hearing the Austrian Presidency presents its plans for the coming months.

And on Saturday I'm off again in the direction of Jerusalem.
