Merkel-Raute

German Chancellor Angela Merkel is visiting Serbia and Albania shortly before her long-lasting mandate as head of German's government comes to an end.

The gesture is seen as giving significance to the six Western Balkan countries, although none of them managed to join the EU club during Merkel's term, which began in 2005.

Social democrat candidate Martin Schulz has better prospects to become Germany's Chancellor in the election this autumn, a new poll shows.

Some 49% of Germans wish that Schulz would get the office, while just 38% would prefer Merkel to keep it.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has once again been elected to head the ruling Christian Democratic Union (CDU).

She received a new two-year mandate from 89 percent of delegates who voted in her favor, and "an 11-minute applause," according to reports.

Angela Merkel seems to have “spilled the beans” to Bloomberg news agency about the difficulty of negotiations with Greece.

Calling upon an official of the German Chancellor’s party who spoke under anonymity, Bloomberg states that Mrs. Merkel underlined that Germany must do everything in its power to overcome difficulties with Greece.

A funny look at German Chancellor Angela Merkel's relationship with Greece as it has captured the attention of cartoonists from around the world.
