The Netherlands Prime Minister Mark Rutte on Monday said that the process of alloting European Commission jobs was "unbelievably complicated" and that it is not certain whether a decision will be made by Tuesday.

Rutte declined to comment on reports that Dutch politician Frans Timmermans has emerged as a strong candidate for the European Commission Presidency.

"It's just unbelievably complicated. You have so many political factions," Rutte said, adding that some of the factions remain divided among themselves.
