Europe's leaders gather amid lingering tensions on energy and in the Aegean

Europe’s attention was on Prague on Thursday and Friday as the leaders of Europe’s countries, from the broader region and the EU specifically, met to tackle key issues facing the continent - from the war in Ukraine to the looming energy crisis.

Efi Koutsokosta, the EU Correspondent for Euronews and Skai TV, joins Thanos Davelis to wrap up the week with the latest analysis from Prague.
