PARIS: Europe's left-leaning national leaders will back Italy's Federica Mogherini for the sensitive post of the European Union's top foreign policy representative at a summit on Saturday, French President Francois Hollande said.
Hollande, speaking after pre-summit talks in Paris, said he had "high hopes" that Mogherini - whom some eastern EU states have criticised as being too soft on Russia - would be confirmed at the subsequent meeting in Brussels.
