An informal meeting of the leaders of 27 EU countries without the UK was for the first time held in Bratislava, Slovakia, on September 16. The meeting discussed the Brexit.
Britain’s Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said on Thursday he expects the Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty to be triggered early next year, but the British Prime Minister Theresa May’s office declined to confirm this information.
The Article 50 states that any EU member can withdraw from the Union. For this, the EU member must formally notify Brussels of such an intention, followed by withdrawal negotiations.
