The announcement of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize is made at 11 am, but just after 10 o’clock, NRK reports that the EU receives the Nobel Prize.
The EU has been mentioned as a favorite for several years but has not managed to get the prize so far.
Director of the Norwegian Nobel Institute, Geir Lundestad, had previously stated that the EU should have been awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize:
– EU has helped to consolidate democracy in Southern Europe and has helped to draw in the central eastern European countries in close cooperation with the rest of Europe, said Lundestad to NRK.
