The new presidency of the Council of European Bishops’ Conferences (CCEE) was elected at its jubilee meeting in Rome on 23-26 September. Archbishop Gintaras Linas Grušas of Vilnius, President of the Lithuanian Bishops’ Conference, became CCEE President and László Német SVD, Bishop of the Diocese of Zrenjanin (Serbia), was elected as First Vice-President.

“The biggest challenge for me is how to inspire Europe again, i.e. how to support this old Europe,” said László Német. The new vice-president was interviewed by László Vértesaljai, editor-in-chief of the Hungarian section at Vatican News.
