Zeinab Badawi speaks with Sweden's Foreign Minister, Carl Bildt.

HARDtalk discusses the reputation as well as the future direction of the European Union with one of the EU's most experienced politicians, Sweden's Foreign Minister, Carl Bildt.

It is out with the old and in with the new at the European Union as EU member states conduct the usual bout of horse-trading that follows elections for the European Parliament. They are selecting a new set of officials including the key post of commission president. The choice of EU insider Jean-Claude Juncker has led to a bitter and public row between the UK and other member states. How far has this damaged the reputation of the EU and what does it tell us about the future direction of the European Union? HARDtalk speaks to one of the EU's most experienced politicians, Sweden's Foreign Minister, Carl Bildt.
