Tusk 'survives' 20-km run in Brussels
By EUobserver
"I survived!" European council president Donald Tusk tweeted after finishing a 20-km run in central Brussels on Sunday. "And at the end, it felt much easier than running some of the #EUCO [EU] summits", he noted, after passing the finishing line and carrying a medal in a Belgian yellow-black-red coloured band. Environmental organisations criticised that 300,000 plastic bottles were used at pit-stops to refresh the 38,000 participants.
