President-elect of the European Commission (EC), Ursula von der Leyen, presented her new team and the new structure of the next EC on Tuesday, with Hungarian László Trócsány set to be a new Enlargement Commissioner and Croatia’s MEP Dubravka Suica as EC’s Vice-President for Democracy and Demography.

Later in September, Parliamentary committees will hold hearings for all the nominees, before they face a confirmation vote in the European Parliament, a press release from the EC said.

Ursula von der Leyen, former German Defense Minister and a prominent member of Germany's Christian Democrats, talked to N1's Ivana Dragicevic on Tuesday evening shortly after the European Parliament confirmed Von der Leyen as the new European Commission president.

Asked to comment on the future composition of the European Commission, especially regarding officials from Eastern Europe and possible commissioners from those countries, Von der Leyen said that there should be a "geographic balance" in the future Commission.
