The leaders of Belgium and the Czech Republic are warning their European Union partners to take urgent action to prevent Russian interference in June’s Europe-wide elections.

Asked which politicians might have been bribed in Europe, De Croo said: “I don’t want to be in a position where I have information about political opponents. If that were the case, it would not be a good thing. That could undermine the credibility of everything our security services are doing. He and Fiala want their partners to beef up the mandate of Europe’s anti-fraud agency and the EU public prosecutors’ office. De Croo warned that this could take time and pointed out that not all the bloc’s member countries have signed up to the prosecutors' office.
