28 European Union leaders' summit to decide on who should take on the bloc's top jobs ended with no result.

Iran Press/ Europe: European Union leaders held a meeting in Brussels to choose the top job of the EU, but the talks which continued until the early hours of Friday morning ended without candidates being finalized.

On top of trying to find majorities for successors, leaders were also trying to decide what issues the EU should prioritize over the next five years, BBC reported.

A new summit will now be held on 30 June - just two days before a key meeting of the European Parliament.

All of the bloc's top jobs are changing hands this year, following European-wide elections in May.

Tense differences are said to have emerged over the successors for the key roles.

The most powerful role being decided is EU Commission president, held by ex-Luxembourg PM Jean-Claude Juncker since 2014.

Besides the replacements for him and Mr Tusk, the leaders also have to decide on a new European Central Bank president and a high representative for foreign policy.

Nominees require the support of least 21 of the 28 EU leaders and a majority in the European Parliament - which will meet on 2 July.
