Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to present the results of European Parliament election in Germany having in mind that the climate crisis had been the major issue in the pre-election campaign. Germany’s two major parties took significant blow in the European elections. The text also deals with the election procedures of the former German defense minister, Ms. von der Leyen, for the President of the European Commission, and the excessive role played in the whole process by leaders of member states who fail to respect the rule of law bypassing “spizencandadats” as well as with its possible implications for the enlargement process of the European Union to the Western Balkans.
