EU leaders are set to gather on Thursday in Brussels for a spring summit that will focus on economy, security and migration.
Donald Tusk, the current President of the European Council, is widely expected to be re-elected, in spite of the lack of support from his native Poland.
The EU leaders would also take stock of the European economy, the current situation in the Western Balkans, as well as defence and military cooperation.
Thursday‘s summit will probably be the last time European leaders will gather before British Prime Minister Theresa May formally invokes Article 50, the mechanism for leaving the EU.
After speculation that May will take a formal letter to the summit, she now looks likely to arrive empty-handed, as legislative manoeuvring in London has delayed her timetable.
Britain wants to officially declare its intention to leave the EU by the end of March, triggering a maximum two-year period of negotiations.
