It is paramount that we understand that the EU is the only option for maintaining our citizens' prosperity and security, said President Klaus Iohannis on Wednesday in Brussels, mentioning that the participants in the Brexit summit had reaffirmed their joint commitment to preserving the unity and cohesion of the Union.
"The result of the referendum left the EU in an unprecedented situation. It is paramount that we understand that the EU is the only option for maintaining our citizens' prosperity and security. Therefore, I find it highly relevant that the key conclusion of our talks is that the EU27 must emerge stronger from this trial. The EU leaders reaffirmed the joint commitment to preserving the unity and cohesion of the Union. I welcome this message of unity all 27 member states pledged to. We emphasized that what we need now is an approach as pragmatic as possible to defuse the situation and allow us to move forward," Iohannis said at the end of European Council meeting called to deal with the Brexit.
