V originále

The paper focuses on analysing and conceptualising selected EU institutions as actors of (self-) legitimisation and legitimation of the EU in times of crisis. By analysing two key institutions of EU governance - the European Commission and the European Council - and two different crises, the paper explores whether there are differences or similarities in the approaches of the various institutions concerning their dealing with the EU's role in the crisis. Departing from the premises of neo-institutional theories, the paper draws on the original dataset of the institutions' outputs on the social network X (formerly Twitter). As such, it contributes to the two streams of literature. First, it adds to the growing literature on the EU's performance in the crisis. Secondly, it engages with the research on the EU's legitimacy.
