Donald Tusk's five years as Head of the European Council are ending as he's replaced by the former Belgian Prime Minister, Charles Michel, Euronews reports.
The outgoing leader exchanged a handshake and a hug with the new Council President on Friday before the two gave speeches, exchanging a golden bell used to start meetings.
"It is a great responsibility and a great honour," Michel said. He joked that he hoped he received as much applause as Tusk had at the end of his own leadership.
