Cameron to support Tusk as EU council president

UK Prime Minister David Cameron will support the candidacy of Polish counterpart Donald Tusk as president of the European Council, The Guardian reported on Tuesday. The Polish PM has so far declined being a candidate for the post. However, the British PM sees him as a possible balance against federalism in the EU. “Our overall objective, as we approach these discussions at Saturday's European council, will be making sure that we have a candidate that is willing to work with Britain to address our concerns in the coming years,” Cameron’s spokesperson was quoted as saying. “Prime Minister Tusk was clear that he thinks there are a number of reforms that need to be made in the EU and that is an agenda where he wants to work with the UK and other countries,” she also said.
