Our Tereza Novotná was quoted in a Politico article titled Brussels threatens to block Trump’s EU ambassador:

“If Donald Trump nominates someone who said publicly he wanted to destroy the European Union … it does not portend the best relationship”

“EU countries may need to weigh the pros and cons of the right time to protest,” she said. “If you don’t start at the beginning [of the process] then it will be harder to reject anyone later,” she said, adding:  “If Donald Trump nominates someone who said publicly he wanted to destroy the European Union … it does not portend the best relationship.”
