Figure 11 – Actual vs potential bilateral meetings between EU leaders as reported on Twitter

Figure 11 also shows the ‘used opportunity’ of each EU leader (i.e. how many of their counterparts could one EU leader have theoretically met during his or her time in office over the 18-month period assessed). The analysis shows that a number of leaders, notably Mateusz Morawiecki, Charles Michel, Mark Rutte, Andrej Babiš and Leo Varadkar met over 40 % of all EU leaders they could potentially have encountered and that Angela Merkel reached over 70 % of her potential.
