Norway's government is grappling with internal tensions over EU energy directives.

Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre has prioritized resolving the conflict with coalition partner Senterpartiet, even altering his schedule to attend critical meetings.

The dispute centers on three EU energy directives, which Senterpartiet opposes, fearing they undermine national interests.

Meanwhile, Labour Party leaders, including Jan Christian Vestre, emphasize the importance of maintaining unity and finding a compromise.

Støre has been urged by his party to negotiate to prevent a government collapse.

The outcome of these talks could have significant implications for Norway's EU relations and domestic politics.
