European Commission President-elect Ursula von der Leyen has offered Czech nominee<\/a> V\u011bra Jourov\u00e1 a post in her team focusing on democracy issues, two senior officials told POLITICO.<\/p>\n

In her political guidelines, von der Leyen wrote<\/a> that she stands by a proposal to link EU funding to rule of law criteria and intends to focus on \u201ctighter enforcement\u201d when it comes to rule-of-law breaches.<\/p>\n
