Baku-APA. German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Francois Hollande met in Paris, September 15, for talks ahead of a crucial meeting of EU leaders - except Britain - in Bratislava, Slovakia, where the migrant crisis and Brexit will dominate the agenda, APA reports quoting Sputnik..
Merkel and Hollande have much in common, although not necessarily for the reasons they would like: both are facing elections next year which they are far from certain to win and both are facing the break-up of the EU as they know it.
The Paris-Berlin axis has been at the heart of the EU dream from the outset, both countries being founding members of the original European Steel and Steel Community — which has since morphed into the European Union.
