Italy will be offered the chance to fill a senior role in the next European Commission as centrist parties look to wrap up a deal on the bloc’s top jobs before a summit later this week.
Leaders from six member states, representing Europe’s biggest political groups, agreed Tuesday to endorse having a candidate chosen by Italy serve as one of the executive vice presidents in the next commission, according to people with knowledge of the talks.
