Visegrad countries urge EU to build a common army
"We must give priority to security and so let's start setting up a joint European army,"
German Chancellor Angela Merkel agreed that security was "a fundamental issue" and that the EU member states could do more "in the areas of security and defense." She also insisted that countries focus on "finding common ground" despite divisions over the bloc's migration policy. "People will only accept Europe if it ensures their [economic] wellbeing. We must be leaders in the area of technology. We want to offer well-paid jobs. We have a lot to do," Merkel added.
