Romania's government formation talks have stumbled as the constitutional clock ticks down. Traditional parties are under pressure to start governing, while far-right parties poll strongly.

Bulgaria has halted military aid to Ukraine. Prime Minister Rumen Radev believes the Ukrainian cause is "doomed."

Pope Francis defended the integration of migrants in his address to the Spanish parliament, rebuking Spain's right-wing parties. He called on lawmakers to go "beyond the mere management of flows."

Armenia's pro-EU ruling party has claimed victory in the parliamentary election. Final results are expected to be declared later on Monday.
