Renzi and the illusion of EU unity
Bratislava: Matteo Renzi casts more doubt on European unity by refusingto share a podium with Chancellor Merkel and President Hollande as he did not "share their conclusions". There has been minimal progress but the EU is still "far" from meeting the challenges it must address after Brexit, Renzi said.
