In a statement on his arrival at the Special European Council here on Thursday, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said he was confident that EU leaders will finally reach agreement on migration and funding for Ukraine
An emergency European Council meeting will be held at the end of January, he added, to facilitate an agreement on the framework accepted by the 26 countries and not by Hungary.
The prime minister has also made an appeal for increased resources to deal with natural disasters.
At the two-day Summit, EU leaders will discuss the unfolding situation in the Middle East, continued support for Ukraine in the face of Russia’s war of aggression, the EU's long-term budget, the economy, migration and external relations.
He added that he is being updated constantly on the unfolding wildfires, and called on people to follow civil protection instructions at all times.
Following the EPP summit, Mitsotakis will meet at the European Parliament with its president Roberta Metsola.
