“At this summit, Turkey is given an importance and interest that is not shown to any other country. We will explain these in more detail in the coming days,” Turkish Ambassador to the Czech Republic Egemen Bagis said.

On Friday, an informal meeting of the European Council, the so-called informal summit, will take place at Prague Castle.

Heads of state and the government will discuss the war in Ukraine, energy, and the economic situation in Europe.

As part of the discussions, EU leaders will assess the decisions already taken in this regard, including a set of energy measures to reduce electricity demand and to collect and redistribute the energy sector's surplus revenues for final consumers, which EU energy ministers reached a political agreement on at the end of September.

In light of the discussions, EU leaders will also provide guidance for further reforms and measures to ensure a well-coordinated European response. (ILKHA)
