The new chairman of EU
summits, former Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, says the EU needs
unity and "ruthless determination" to end the economic crisis and
counter the bloc's foes.
In a veiled warning about Russia's actions in Ukraine, Mr Tusk said "history is back, and such times need leadership and political unity".
Mr Tusk has one of the EU's top jobs.
As European Council president he is in a powerful position to shape the EU's priorities and hammer out deals among the 28 member states' governments.
He was the choice of the centre-right European People's Party, the pro-integration bloc that won May's European elections.
