The European Council sets the long-term political priorities for the EU. These priorities, which are sometimes updated and fine-tuned in reaction to crises, need to be communicated to EU citizens, the other EU institutions, and the world. Beyond the central communication through the European Council's conclusions, EU leaders convey their own messages. But do they all do this in the same way? On the same topics? With the same messages? To answer these questions, this EPRS study provides an overview of the communication activities of all members of the European Council in the form of press conferences and doorstep statements at the European Council's regular meetings in 2022. The study identifies the types of media interaction used by EU leaders and the topics they speak about, and explores the nature and content of their messages. Particular attention is paid to developments in the EU leaders' communication on the war in Ukraine. The analysis also examines whether the messages reproduce or deviate from the European Council conclusions agreed by consensus.
