EU urges 'brutally honest' talks over future
- 8 years ago
European Union leaders gathered in Slovakia, to seek a unified response to Britain’s Brexit decision.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel called for solidarity and a renewed sense of purpose as they attempt to find common ground.
"I hope that Bratislava stands for the fact that we want to work together, and we want the problems that there are in Europe to be solved.
We have to show through actions that we can make it better."
The alliance is very divided over how to absorb more than 1 million migrants who have traveled to Europe and over issues regarding economic growth and trade.
"Following Brexit, business as usual is not an option.
We can either come out of this crisis weaker and conflicted, or stronger and more united," -European Council President Donald Tusk
