Merkel in 'confidential' talks with Sarkozy
By EUobserver
German Chancellor Merkel met former French President Sarkozy Friday in Berlin, but the content of their talks remains "confidential," a government spokeswoman said. Merkel informed current President Hollande beforehand, she added. Sarkozy is from the same EU centre-right political family as Merkel and may be eyeing an EU top post.
