According to the official, Kallas "privately complains that she [von der Leyen] is a dictator but there’s little or nothing she can do about that," TASS reported.
Politico noted that while von der Leyen had tense relations with former EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, they are even worse with Kallas.
The newspaper also pointed out that Kallas comes from "tiny Estonia," which makes her position even weaker than Spain’s Borrell’s.
